Hello Monty, it's a pleasure to meet you. What a handsome dog you are! I cringed when I read that you were in a crate for 18 hours a day with your first owners; it must have been terrible for you. I am so glad that you were rescued and adopted by your present family who obviously love you and care about your well being. Your photos are beautiful. I hope you have many more happy healthy years with your family. Congrats on being DOTD!
