I always had a dog growing up. My wife on the other hand didn't. After being married for 10 yearas I finally got her to take the plunge. The first dog we had for 4 days and had to take him back to the humane society. The second one we adopted we have had for 3.5 years now. Josie is our 68lb black lab mix. She got hold of a Deceiver I had left on the table one day and proceeded to eat it ! My wife found her with a piece of hackle stuck between her teeth. Josie thought she did something great because my wife started giving her treats and food. And by doing that it actually coated the hook so it didn't tear her stomach open. After a major surgery and a week in the vets office. Josie and my wife have a very strong bond between them.
