RUGER aka HUNTER The dancing dog!

Ruger (aka Hunter) had been abandoned two times - two times he ended up with AAR! Thank GOD for such a wonderful group of volunteers. Ruger (Hunter) was in the Tomball parade and was the dancing dog. He's a celebrity - we even ran into his dancing partner not long ago at Petco.

We went to AAR and were looking at dogs to adopt. We had met a few - none of which were a great fit. One of the volunteers actually suggested meeting one more as we were headed out the door - 30 minutes later and we were loading our new boy in the car and heading home.

He loves his new home in Tomball - everyday he runs wild and crazy around the backyard. His worst habit is begging, but I'm probably at fault....who can say no to this guy?! He's in heaven at Burroughs Park (where he can get off the leash and run free) and the Hound dog in him really comes through. He loves hanging his head out the window, catching/chasing his toys and antagonizing my girlfriend's grumpy cat! He just wants to be friends, just like he wants to do with every other animal. He's a hound/lab mix, but he chews through even the toughest of toys. Even Pit Bull rated toys stand NO CHANCE (we have a separate room where we keep our shoes)! He loves water, unless it's for a bath! He knows when he can be rough with me, but is very gently with my 6 year old.

His name is Ruger (like the firearm), but there are many nicknames for him. BDB (Big Dumb Bear) because you can pet his neck until and he leans so far he falls over backwards; Rugie, Rugalicious etc.

My girlfriend is wanting to train him to be an agility dog - he is SOOO agile it's crazy. Me, I just want to get him a friend from AAR. Whatever we decide, we just look forward to many more years with this AWESOME friend.
