This is a Leon Berger
It's a cross between a Newfoundlander, St. Bernard and Great Pyrenees
It stands 2.5 feet high and weighs 170 lbs
It looks like a small lion if you ever see one up close, incredibly playful and gentle.
Dude you work in the wrong field. Take up writing ar perhaps get into poilitics.
A sad story but it shows how much people love their dogs.
An elderly couple died yesterday while attempting to rescue their dog from a pondin Westfield, Massachusetts.
According to local authorities, 64-year-old Daniel Cyr and 61-year-old Patricia Cyr were crossing the pond in their pontoon when their terrier suddenly jumped in the water.
Mr. Cyr went in after the dog, but became distressed, prompting his wife to enter the water as well. At some point she became distressed as well and began screaming.
Jet ski riders responded along with a passing boater, and helped pull the pair out of the water. Emergency services arrived and transported the couple to nearby hospitals, .
The dog was later found by a State Police detective and handed her over to an animal control officer. She is currently in the care of the municipal animal shelter.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the drowning .

I don't usually thank people for making me cry, but today I needed the reminder that the world isn't just full of assholes. Thanks, Danny.

Dog protects B.C. woman during cougar attack
Angie Prime’s dog Vicious lived up to its name Saturday, protecting B.C. woman from serious harm when a cougar came into her home and attacked.
“She did an amazing job,” Prime said.
Having just got off the phone with her husband who was away working, Prime, 35, was sitting on the couch in her home in Trail-- about 620 km southwest of Calgary -- with Vicious, an 11-year-old female border collie, and a pair of weeks-old pomeranian chihuahuas, when she suddenly found herself face-to-face with a cougar standing some two metres away.
The big cat had walked into the house through an open door
“It was definitely surreal,” Prime said.
“We looked at each other and had a moment.
“It was, holy (expletive) there’s a cougar in my house.”
Seconds later, the cat pounced, looking to make a meal out of Prime and her pooches.
“I just tried to block myself and raise my leg up and screamed like crazy,” she said,
That’s when Vicious jumped into action, chasing the cat out of the house and up an embankment.
Neighbours who heard Prime’s screams also came outside but were unable to track the cat that night.
Prime said the animal was severely emaciated, a fact confirmed when conservation officers shot the animal on Monday -- just blocks from her home -- after setting baited traps.
“It was really sick looking,” she said.
“I really only looked at its face when it was in the house because it was kind of a blur after that when it was coming at me.
“I did see the cat after they shot it and you could see its hip bones and ribs.
“It was definitely taking a chance for the sake of being so hungry.”
Born and raised in Trail, Prime said she is used to wild animals being in close proximity, but this was the first time she’s had an encounter like this.
“We’re a rural community so there’s bears and coyotes and cougars and stuff,” she said.
“When you’ve lived here you just know that they’re here and you don’t really think of it. “You don’t expect a cougar to come in your house.”
Prime had left a back door open on Saturday so her dogs could go in and out, something she said she will now rethink.
“It’s one of things you take for granted on a nice evening,” she said. “The chances of that happening are ridiculously low.”

I'm totally crazy about dogs and my dog in general.
My mother came to visit and she was floored that I let my dog sit on my lap, which under "normal circumstances" would mean a small dog but in my case means a 115 pound land shark.
She said I was stupid about my dog and I pointed out that my dog is more loyal than any woman I know.
Then I told her that thing above about locking your dog or your girlfriend in a trunk for an hour.
She thinks I'm nuts.
