My wolf high bread was a great animal, loyal and very protective, after my Daughter was born, any critter that came onto our property was killed swiftly, and yet my daughter could tie him up and play him, and they were best of friends, I never had to worry when she was with him in our yard.

Kid Terico, that's a nice gesture, to help these older people out, well done Pard, and I hope you're feeling better.
