That is such a wonderful wee story. They really are so affectionate. My Yogi is really good at knowing when I am in need of a great big hug or sloppy kiss. I study for exams as part of my job and he lies with me every time and never leaves my side - he just knows when im stressed out or upset!

Gosh, that's so touching. Is she a Doberman? I believe that Dobermans are the product in a by-gone age of a cross between Greyhounds and Rottweillers, thus the intelligence (from the Greyhound anyway).
