Bully, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bully
Age: Six and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Rottweiler, Boxer mix
Home: Amsterdam, New York, USA
 
   This is Bullreguard, AKA "Bully". A male, he is a Rottweiler/Boxer mix and weighs about 110 pounds. Bullreguard came to live with us 1 1/2 years ago from a very neglectful and abusive situation. He was never given walks, never had been socialized, and never even played with toys. He was always left alone outside or in a cellar on a chain. He now is the most wonderful and playful dog I have ever seen. His favorite place in on our loveseat, preferably laying across my lap. He now has unlimited run of a house and yard and is always so happy, and is always thrilled to see us, even if we have just gone outside to get something from the car. No matter who we invite in the house, he instantly loves them. The Plumber was thrilled!!

    My husband is a tractor trailer driver, and Bully loves to ride along whenever possible spending most of the time riding shotgun. He does however, love to nap in the bunk as well. We go for three walks a day for a total of two to three hours depending on weather, and in between, at any given time that you say the word, "walk" he is ready to go! He is now in excellent health and condition. He has so much energy and can jump so high, it is unbelievable. It is a most wonderful breed. He has the Youthful exuberance of a boxer, along with the quiet "wait and see" attitude of a Rottweiler. He loves to guard the house, A job he takes very seriously. If it is not the postman he barks at, it is most likely an unscrupulous squirrel.
