I borrowed my sisters three granddaughters for a week and just sent them home this morning. They are 5,8, and 10. I could not have asked for better behavior from Oz. He was their shadow all week. Slept with them at their slumber party, fished for salamanders, and was brushed until he glistened. Again, thanks for such a great dog. At 17 months old everyone was impressed by how gentle and loving he was with the girls. Kudos! - Bev Jane Coplin
