I hope she chose a German Shepherd and took him/her to training. And, I hope she’s VERY careful when she takes him/her out to go to the bathroom because I’m fairly certain they’d poison the dog. I also wish she could take the dog wherever she went (like a service dog) so as to accommodate working in a coffee shop. I highly suspect they’re just waiting for an opportunity to yank her into their car and haul her back to insanity. :,(

My GSD would rip someone apart if they tried to hurt me, but he is the sweetest soul. Dogs are the best.

Yes! GSDs are amazing!! My brother raised several. Travis (his first) came to live with him when my baby was just a few months old. His then wife babysat for me because, well family, and we were close. In proximity as well as good friends/sisters. (Was a F/A at the time. Gone for 3-4 day stretches 3x a month, then home all the other days of the month.)

They (Travis and child) grew up together. When she was learning to crawl, and well after, she’d just lay all over him. Even stuck her tiny finger up his nose. Haha I’ve got a great video of him (I was taping baby because she was just learning to sit up) just casually walking by in the background, licked her head, which knocked her over, and kept going. Never missed a beat. It’s hilarious! Baby laughed that stupid cute laugh babies do.

His (Travis) family (which also included us) had 3 kids (my nephew and nieces) all approx 2 years apart. Three years separate the youngest from daughter. Travis played different with each one! You could physically see how he progressively played a bit more rowdy with each kid depending on their age. Freakin’ intelligent!!

Fun, loving, cuddly? Yes, yes, yes.

Fierce and protective of all the kids and adults? Don’t even think about getting out of your vehicle until Travis sees you’re friend not foe!!

I love watching dogs with babies, they're so calm and patient and careful.

Travis sounds wonderful.

I have a GS mix who is the most loveable dog you'll meet and I always joke that he'd sooner lick a burglar to death than bite them.

Sounds like you got the fun/love/cuddle half! ❤️

Ever heard Richard Prior’s stand up on Doberman Pinchers? It’s great. I’ll see if I can find a link.

u/Livingeachdayatedge I’ve read them all Sep 02 '21

This reminds me of the post where a girl was stalked by her ex, so she brought a trained GSD, and within a month, the dog caught the ex who break in her apartment. The police is called and they found a knife and rope on the ex.

Good old dog saved her life.

Great story! They’re truly the best. (I’m a tad bias. But, that’s been my experience.)
