Brody has scouted out all the houses within a four mile radius of our house that have dog treats outside and pulls me to them on our long walks. He also waits by the door after breakfast hoping a pup cup will be delivered to him. When we were in training classes as a puppy, he wouldn't learn to lie down unless a memory foam bed was provided. Brody is 13 years old and can still go for 3-4 mile runs, He is incredibly smart, the most loyal, and no one is a stranger.
