I extremely have a kind heart for ALL animals. My son bought a puppy doberman 4 years ago when he got out of service he name him Tank. My son went to work every day while I stayed home taking care of Tank Bear. I spoiled him with treats toys kisses hugs I loved him so much he made me not feel lonely. I walked him fed home played with him run walk play wrestle tug of war with a toy rope. I watched him till last year my son no ed to Morgan hill, can. I still go see him take him to dog park I even slept in the garage with him on occasion. I spent all day with him till my son came him. From work. On hot days he go in my car with the air condition on to cool off I would take him to pet smart or pet co get toy or and treats then go back to son house wait in car with the air conditioner on then go to dog park I took him for a bath at times at a pet store $10.00 wash him my self they supply towel shampoo we have so much fun he loves me. I would be kind to your dog. Attached is a photo of tank bear. I e end went to big lots and bought a big table umbrella to make shade for tank in my sons back yard felt sorry for tank no shade and I made him a little condo with a thick sofa fusion for him to lay on
