I suspect he likely could have some pitbull in him Kim. Here in Toledo we have a huge population of pits so pit crosses are as common as fleas on a hound in this city. Actually Mike and I are a bit concerned about advertising that we've found a pup as our neighbours tell us that often people in this area pretend to be the dog's owners and then, especially with pits or pit crosses, will use them for fighting or as bait dogs. It's horribly sad that humans are doing this with dogs - no dog should be encouraged to fight for sport and often to the death (apparently there's often major money money involved with these scumbags).
Mike's at work tonight Christie so Tank's bath will have to wait until tomorrow when I have Mike's help to lift him...he's a tank even a bit underweight as he is. The pics don't show it as he's got a fair bit of a coat on him but when you pat him he's all bones. I don't like a fat dog but he's got no reserves at all! Wolfed his dinner down tonight like he hadn't seen a meal in awhile and drank gallon upon gallon of water.
Mikey's first comment when he came home from school and saw that I had managed to bring the pup home was to pat Tank, then pat Gunnar and tell her "it's okay Gunnar I still wuv you!"
Thanks Deb, I really do feel it was meant to be. I've never had a stray follow me through 8 city blocks, let alone patiently wait for me to drop a child off at school (he hid around the corner then came out once he saw me leaving the school). I think he was determined to find a home and get the heck out of that awful cold.![]()
