Unconditional love.
On Sunday, 1 October, 2023, I retired. My oldest daughter and my wife conspired to get me a dog. I really didn't want one. I wanted to see what it was like to be able to sleep in on a weekday. They both knew that I liked German Shepherds. They just happened to find a purebred at a local rescue shelter. He was going on 4 months of age. They showed me a picture. Damn it! we now have a German Shepherd puppy who just turned 9 months old and is now 75 lbs (1000 kilograms).
Just this Friday, he graduated doggie boot camp. His name is Lionel and he is something else. All in a good way. He loves us to death. How anyone could ever hurt an animal is beyond me. All they want is a little love and they will give that love back a thousand fold.
Great story and great photo. Iโm convinced rescue animals are aware of whatโs going on and how lucky they are to have found a good home,
I hope Lionel is part of your family for many years
Congratulations, good looking fella, happy for you.
Great story! Lots of joy!
Congrats on your new best friend.
Happy for you, Tom! ๐๐
Good story. That's going to be a two-way tsunami of love between y'all and Lionel.

Beautiful photo. It captures the love between these two.
