I have had dogs for the most of my life. They have always been a part of who I am. I had two Basset Hound rescue dogs and now have a Aussi-Rhodi mix. Axyl (my aussi) and I run the trails together almost everyday. I live in a town home and work. So I make it a point to make sure he get a good run and a good walk every single day. Axyl is a rescue dog too. He is very loving and loves to play. He is protective of me and has been a life saver a couple of times while we were running on the trail. I am a proponent of rescue dogs because there are so many out there who needs a loving home.
