It's A Boy

I went to the local humane society to look at the puppies. Instead I saw a boy with his paws folded like a true gentleman. He came up to the window and cried for me. I knew nothing about him, and felt we were meant to be together. I went home that day without him. A week later I checked his file online and he was still available. I guess most people overlooked him because he was 5yrs old and weighed over 85lbs.

We all decided it was time to meet this dog. Mark was the first to spot him in his kennel that fateful day. Again, he was a perfect gentleman with his paws folded. When this boy was attacked by three grabby little girls, he didn't jump, or bark. Mark's only comment was "we are not going home without this dog." I already knew that, but needed him to say it.

Welcome home Oliver. You are the big hairy boss who captured my heart and took over my bed. I will love you forever. Sometimes a boy like you just needs someone to believe in him.
