I've had many dogs over the years. One I had for about 9 years; he was a cocker spaniel and lab mix named Dino. The only trouble we ever had with him was him getting loose into our neighborhood. He got loose last year and we never found him. We think maybe he was going off to die...
I loved him so much, and he ever made it through Katrina in New Orleans stuck in a flooded apartment.
My favorite dog over the years was, I think, half coyote. He was my dog, though my brother named him [Johnny Bravo], and he followed me everwhere and I used to talk to him. He ran away one day, too. :[
I've had a bad history with dogs. Two died of Parvo. One was poisoned by our neighbors as a puppy. Three got loose and were never seen again. One was stolen by some kids in the neighborhood. One was hit by a car. Another died of some new dog disease. And my third favorite, a cute little Pomeranian mix, was shot by our neighbors with a pellet gun.
Poor, poor dogs.
Right now, I'd have a dog, but we can't have pets where I live. [We rent.] So, until we move, or until I head off to Montana for college, I won't have another dog. But when I do get one, I want a Siberian Husky. They are absolutely gorgeous. :cheese: I love wolves, and that's the closest I'll get to having one. It'll be expensive and it might be a while before I get one, but I promise you, I will have one.
