What's up dog?
After wanting a dog my whole life, trying to convince my partners was a fail. So when I turned 21 I was going through a bad break up, I got myself a puppy and he was the best thing that happened to me. I research and yes they said a husky was not for an inexperienced owner but I was determined and excited to have a pup. I trained him every day as a pup and now he's such an amazing dog. He allowed me to focus my mind on something else. The time and effort spent on him shows as whenever people meet him they always say how smart and well behaved he is. He's my boy, fills me with joy and proudness everyday at the dog he's become. My first pup, my soul dog
He put himself in harms way when a German shepherd rushed us resulting in bites coving my hand and arm.
This resulted in him being reactive now to big male dogs. Which is a challenge to own a reactive dog. But I'll never give up on him. It's sad we can't go out in high dog areas but I make sure he still has fun with dogs he knows. I'm glad people understand him and how that experience has affect him.
