A new member to my family

When I was about 11 or 12 are drunk neighbor had a beautiful Doby and ask my Dad to take him in as he was moving. My Dad hated Dobys so he said no way and we had a old dog already, guy said well I'm just going to chain him to a tree and leave him:angry7: And that's what the bastard did, the poor thing barked and howled non stop for a day. Short story is he had run out of food and water which I talked my Mom in to letting me refill and he instantly became my friend. Only was able to keep him for a few days till we found him a good home on a farm, but that dog was like glue on me the whole time. The new owner brought him back a several months later for a visit and the dog bolted right at me knocked me flying and tried to lick me to death.

I fell in love with dobies when I was a kid, a friend of my parents had one. My dad was always big into golden retrievers and we never had one. But ill never forget their dobie,it was love at first sight. Such a unique personality, something intangible that you cant get from any other breed.
