Rambo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rambo
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepherd
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   Rambo came into our lives when he was eight months old. My father accompanied one of his friends to a dog shelter, with no intention of leaving with a dog of his own. It was love at first sight, for Rambo! As soon as Rambo saw my father, he got very excited, so my father's friend asked the employee at the shelter to let him out. No sooner was he out than was he at my father's side. Well, needless to say, my father melted and decided Rambo was his, or the other way around (it's debatable). Funny, as soon as Rambo was free, he ran up to my father's truck before my father even reached it.

    Since then, Rambo has been my father's shadow... literally. For every two steps my father takes, Rambo takes the same. He will not go for a walk with anyone else, no matter what we try to lure him with. If my father goes out, Rambo sits behind the door, crying until he comes home. Although, throughout the years, he has gotten better - now he just lies behind the door.

    Rambo is the sweetest, gentlest dog ever! All he wants is love. He comes up to you and will almost knock you over as he rubs against you. He will put his head on your lap for you to pet, and if he really likes you, he'll put one of his paws on top of your foot/feet, so you won't leave as he takes a nap. He's our friendly giant!
