Oh always so. A dog park dog from the time he got his puppy shots. With me at stores that allow dogs, at local festivals, frequently out in public where he gets exposed to strangers. Constantly petted by children. He has been raised to believe that a stranger is a friend he hasn't met yet. My big warning to people: "He does lick".
OK, he is five. But he will always be my sweet little puppy
Yep. He's an Irish Wolfhound. He even has his own web page. Lots of baby pictures there.
I see you are in Maryland. If you go to the Overland Expo East this October you can meet him in the author's tent where I will be introducing my new book "The Essential Guide to Overland Travel in the United States and Canada. A Resource for Independent Travel and Camping".
My baby dog is also my traveling and camping companion.
