Meet 'Caramel'
When I first met her at the local animal shelter. (Oh god, it's already been 10 years)
She arrived the day before comming from a killing shelter in Greece and brought to Germany by an anmial rescue organisation
How can people do something bad to something likeTHIS.
She was scared as hell and wanted to run away from every human on first sight, but that changed. Although she is still cautious with strangers, hides behind me and doesn't leave my side when she sees young men wearing heavy boots...
But once you have earned her trust she's the most endearing dog I know.
In her youth she enjoyed driving in my convertible.
Now she's getting older and is becomming a little grey around the clown-nose..
And then there was 'Felix' (He unfortunately died last year, cancer)
We met him years after we got Caramel during a walk and both where a heart and a soul from the very beginning. It turned out, he came from the same killing shelter in Greece and was the same age. So maybe it was a kind of family reunion.
When his owner died we took care of him. He was not as cautious and much more confident as Caramel. A big Teddybear and buddy, and always up for anything fun.
He loved just everybody, played and cuddled with kids that were smaller than him. They could ride him or pull at his hair, he always stayed fond and even enjoyed it, just 95 pounds of pure love.
I guess I shoud stop here, before I post even more pictures...
