Our Best Friend-- Our Protector
Here are some new photos of our German Shepherd, "Mason," taken at the Goose Island County Park hiking trails.
Mason taking a short break from blasting through some natural grassland in the park. Here's a good opp'ty to see Mason's build. Like a boulder-- massive (a 100-lb dog) but all muscle!
Here's a couple of my favorites! My great wife Teresa, and her "buddy," the big dog. On one occasion, my wife avoided a possible sexual assault by simply letting Mason out of the car. (The assailants turned and fled). Note that Mason is taller than my wife when both are sitting.
"Gentle Giant"-- A picture that suggests the calm, stable temperament of this huge dog. Mason is good with visitors and kids. But because he considers himself our bodyguard (he's a Police Dog, after all) he is potentially very dangerous to intruders or attackers. For all his size, Mason is amazingly fast. If I were a "nutcase" or a criminal, I sure wouldn't want to mess with him. Mason is just four years old this month.
