Congrats. What a great photo of 2 new friends for life, I hope you and your son get as much out of this relationship as I've gotten out of every dog I have ever loved.
My Gramps use to say "if you measure the "value" of a relationship by what you get out of it, compared to what you must put into it, than surely loving a dog is the best bargain man can ever make".
He was dead-on. We work. we play with and take care of our kids. we maintain our homes. We do a million chores that are required. We rest, and we exercise. With whatever puny amount of time is leftover, we give our dogs a portion of that. In return, they give us 100% of their hearts and souls. God Bless the dogs who love us and ask for so very little.
