I had a chuckle watching Animal Airport the other night, they had this HUGE dog in transit called "Brutus".
One worker was a bit doubtful about getting him out of his kennel but he turned out to be a real pussy, with his tail between his legs that is until the owner arrived to pick him up then he nearly knocked everyone over his tail was wagging so much at the joy of seeing him.
Really like those sort of stories. Looks like his next dog is a German short haired pointer. Once had one of those, she was one of the most intelligent dog I've ever met.
