A living teddy bear

My Old English Sheepdog is the most exuberantly affectionate dog imaginable. He greets everyone who enters our home like a long-lost family member, bouncing and spinning and generally creating a furry storm of joy. He is wonderful with my children and genuinely funny in his interactions with everyone. The grooming is a major commitment. I spend an hour brushing him twice a week and he has a professional groom every eight weeks. Worth every minute.
