I LOVE PUPPIES!
When We let our 4year old pick a puppy as a reward for finally letting mom sleep with me, I showed her countless pix of labs, golden retrievers and St. Bernards (my favorite) but, she insisted on a "bulldog" of questionable ancestory at the local flea market.
She was the runt, 1/2 the size of her brothers and sisters and almost dead from fleas and worms.
Here she is today just 7-8 months old and already the 2nd best truck/boat riding dog I've ever had and a legendary protector (it scares me a little) of my kids.
