Fantastic Friday - Blitz the Wonder Dog


It has been a few years since I have written about Blitz the Wonder Dog, my sisters now aging German Shepherd.  I call him the Wonder Dog because he changed my feelings about dogs, from fear, or distrust, or even hatred, to what a sweet dog.  Once he is sure that you are not a threat, he is a sweetest, best behaved dog I had ever met.  In his younger days he was convinced that the Amazon Delivery guy was an invading army, and he would warn all within earshot of the threat.  He has mellowed.  He is 11, he has serious hip issues, is rather slow getting up.  He avoids the kitchen as his rear feet slip out from under him on the vinyl floor, and he falls and can't get up. 

Blitz was a surprise, my sister was not thinking about a dog.  Her husband called one day and said, "I am bringing a puppy home, he needs a home." He was the runt of the litter, the last one to leave home, he has outlived all of his siblings.  He was raised well, trained lovingly but firmly.  He is fantastic.

  3. Animals, when given even a small dose of love, return it a thousand times over.
    Blitz the Wonder Dog proves that.
