We're pretty sure the Big Guy is a Neapolitan Mastiff (even though those horrible cropped ears make him look like a Cane) and my ma ape is getting in touch with rescue. She talked with them a few years ago because she has wanted a Neo for so long! He needs someone with big dog experience because he's obviously not had any training. But don't worry about him making you into a snack--he LOVES putting things in his mouth but he's a gentle giant! My ma ape's arm was SOAKED because he liked to put it in his mouth but he never used his teethers. <BR/><BR/>I just hope rescue comes before my ma ape turns US into a Neo rescue!!!!<BR/><BR/>wally t.wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812654736377554635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-68473920089849220912009-01-17T18:06:00.000-06:002009-01-17T18:06:00.000-06:00A lot of love for that old dog shining through you...A lot of love for that old dog shining through your post.<BR/><BR/>What a beautiful friendship.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824632356834631279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-85000494321753288092009-01-17T17:31:00.000-06:002009-01-17T17:31:00.000-06:00Don't feel bad!

I would call him, he would come, and try the stairs, and take a tumble. I would say, wait a minute, I will help you. Go down the two stairs, and he would run off for the lilac bush and hide.<BR/>So I would go back in the house and when I opened the door again, he would be sitting there waiting for me. He was so proud! We can't take that away from our dogs. <BR/><BR/>Jo in MNStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890014621743537798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-20789164999270733522009-01-16T13:17:00.000-06:002009-01-16T13:17:00.000-06:00Oh please don't feel bad!
