          We adopted Cruiser in September of 2010, when he was about 18 months 
          old.  We were told that he had lived his entire life up to that 
          time in a kennel and that he had very low self-esteem.  The first 
          couple of months were very difficult - house training didn’t seem to 
          work, he chewed 
          inappropriately and would pull his leash on walks.  Since then with 
          lots 
          of patience, he has become the perfect dog for his family.  He returns 
          our 
          patience with our in-laws' hyper little dogs and with our baby.  He 
          doesn’t 
          bark or bay, he and the cat stay out of each other’s way, and he let 
          India 
          be the boss of the house.  He loves to run like a crazy dog off-leash 
          at 
          our cottage, but stays close to home. 
           
          We’re looking forward to several more years with our loyal companion.
