history: My 8 year old German Shepherd had hip dysplasia.  He was my best friend.  I loved him so much I love dogs as well. They truly are man's best friend. ive had one dogg that I love_comma_ but since she did its been hard to love again.
current: It's very hard to train them from a puppy.  Older dogs know just how to love without being so overeager and annoying
next: yeah she was an older family dog.
