From the day we met this fluffy ball of joy, Oden instantly felt like family as he found his place in our pack. After a couple of weeks in his new home, my husband suffered a terrible car accident. Oden, being a puppy, went to stay with family friends for a bit, since we were in the hospital around the clock and had two other older female dogs to care for as well. Ever the trooper, he adapted extremely well and was just as loving with them as he was with us. Upon his return, he quickly became the loyal support companion that he remained being his entire life. He was always with my husband or watching the kids; mediating the attention for all the dogs; at the door in an instant; and ready for adventure at a moments notice. Like most large, friendly dogs, he was completely unaware of his size or personal space and could do more harm than good sometimes, but never had a mean bone in his body. He was the most loveable, handsome, kind-hearted, playful oaf and we will miss him forever.
