People say I’m too attached to my dog.

Damn straight.

I’m always amazed and thrilled to know how tough and resilient dogs can be. So many great instances of dogs being saved from some seemingly impossible situations like this. Also man’s best friend is an understatement.

Can’t believe it… those were undocumented boulders that crossed into California illegally. Probably got a driver’s license too.
