I've got a dog like that a Golden Retriever who spends more time with me than her owners. I have been walking Katie for nearly 11 yrs now in fact most of the other doggie walkers think she is mine! I absolutely adore her. When I get my scanner working again I'll send you a picture. Katie is the only dog I walk who has never growled all the time I've known her, she will even welcome other dogs into the car with her. I currently walk about 10 dogs a day and none of them will let any dog near thier car!
