BIG DOG

Everything about Jake is huge.No wonder he was brought back to the pound twice before we picked him up almost 4 years ago. He is a wonderful and gentle canine, but even when he wags his tail, one better not be near it or it will bruise and hurt. We jokingly tell him one of these days we are going to trade him in for a compact, economy model. Our "big man", as I often call him, is powerfully muscular. My guess is he can pull speeds up to about 30 mph on a typical sprint.  

 Gidget prefers small hide-outs, like under our counter table. She has learned to close her eyes when Jake approaches wagging his tail, which sweeps about mercilessly at the same height as her face. JIR
