Not exactly an original name for a White German Shepherd. I learned, early in his life, he had a injury to one ear.
Do you see the gentle nature in his face?
I met him a few months ago while purchasing the new landscape stones for my garden.
He was right there, watching the owner and me load up the stones on the truck.

The real story here is the love they share with each other.
The lucky two have been companions for over 12 years.

Awe ...I do see the the gentle nature in his face ...great photo capture. Love the photo of him and his owner too ...Aww!
ReplyDeleteThanks Willow....when I first arrived, he had to check me out...not once did he bark at me!
DeleteThat last photo shows the amount of love flowing between these two, wonderful. x
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, Shep looks so content in the last photo.
DeleteOh, that dog looks like an angel right here on earth...
ReplyDeleteHe stayed very close to his owner.
DeleteAw - he's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb....I really enjoyed your post, today.
DeleteHello Meggie,
ReplyDeleteThis post reminded me of that old song.. "When i was a boy..old shep was a pup! over the meadows we'd roam...
A lovely post..
I have my lady who has gone totally blind with me still she has been with me for 13 years.. since she was born.
Animals are so loving and they ask for nothing but love.. they can teach us so much.
happy wednesday Meggie.

Hello Val....I wish I had remembered that song when I wrote the post. Thanks for the reminder. By the way, I miss reading you blog !!
DeleteHe does have a sweet face. My son has a yellow lab who is very sweet, but protective. We live on a busy highway, and animals don't last too long who wander around. A beagle puppy has been roaming around lately. I sure hope he stays home and not on the road!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wise and gentle old face! The love they share is plain for all to see. Thank you for this beautiful post, Meggie.
ReplyDeleteHe is a gorgeous dog Meggie.It's clear that man and dog adore each other.
ReplyDeleteI totally get the love that man has for his dog - and the love and loyalty Shep has towards him. I had that with Bridger, my German Shepherd, for 12+ years until he died in May. There's nothing like the loyalty and love these wonderful companion animals give us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us about Shep.
Awww, Shep looks like a total sweetie! I love the connection that men have with their dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe love and loyalty of dogs is so heartwarming. How fortunate we are that we exist in the same world.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have a friend! My parents had a White Shepard for years her name was Spook:) Thanks for the comment on my blog, it is nice to meet you Meggie on the Prairie:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post...yes, to seeing the gentle nature. the link to the other Shep was good...made me wonder if you have seen the movie Hachi, A Dog's Tale. Very much in the nature of the other Shep, and a true story. If you like dogs or have ever had a special dog, you will love it.
