Doggie wants food!
http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8kG...ew?usp=sharing
There is a new sheriff in town. Got a little briard baby boy named Jurri yesterday. Have to wach out carefully for few weeks for the older dogs not to play too rough with it. Luckily they grow up fast.
Damn difficult to take pics of black dog.

Our english cream golden retriever Tess. Now 15 months old. She is doing her best to not be domesticated. But we love her regardless.

You are in for it, every Golden Retriever I have known has been smarter than it's humans. Best one I've ever known was years ago, my son's, Eli by name. If you were near him, sitting down and feeling blue he would come over sit next to you and lean on you until you felt better.
(Don't count cats out on that factor either. My avatar, Lil' Mama, knew every time I was down and blue during chemo. She would lap sit until I felt better and positive again about things. Miss her a great deal.)
Here such thing works pretty well with volunteer organisations. People with suitable dogs keep visiting hospitals, senior homes, orphanage homes and also as an assistant in kindergardens and junior schools. My daughter works with it every now and then with her briard.
Also several farms have offered those groups a change to visit to meet animals like cows, goats, sheep etc.
I guess animals might have a more influence on our health than we think.
In the US you can get a dog "certified" as a "therapy dog" and they do exactly that. Provide comfort and a bit o' love that the patient(s) really respond to. My personal dogs have always been a little to energetic to perform this type of service. However, they do provide blood pressure relief for me along with the loyalty that only comes from a k9. I will say that my previous Rottweilers have been much more "in tune" with moods and emotions. Currently we have a pit bull, she's a great dog but is more attached to "fun" wherever that may be vs "what's got us down, how can I help" mentality. That's why I LOVE working, guardian, herding breeds. They seem to be more of a partner to their human counterpart.
