Three years ago we took in Buddy from a friend, who had a friend, who had a neighbor, who had a friend that found him lost in her neighborhood. They were unable to find Buddy's owner and he had been living at a farm. He was on his way to the shelter. Brayden wanted a dog for his birthday, so we decided to see Buddy at the farm. Of course he was adorable. Small, cute and calm. Little did I know that these were traits of a scared puppy and not of a black lab. So we took in this small, 6 month old lab. Buddy grew into this huge 90lb dog with a short attention span and loves to chase bunnies and squirrels. He has taken me down on our walks, has pulled me through bushes and I have many times experienced rope burn trying to hold onto him while he chases a bunny. He is referred by Pat as "labradork". And he reminds me of Marley in "Marley & Me". With all those traits, he is loved! Buddy is part of the family now. He travels to Ohio with us, sleeps with the kids and I like to think he will be there to protect us if ever needed {the way he barks and growls at the UPS man}.
