We rescued Moose about eight years ago after he was hit by a car and found on the side of a road. He's a pit/lab/shepherd mix and while he can be a handful at times he's also one of the smartest dogs we've ever had.
Only downside is that he's built like a tank and doesn't quite know his own strength so having kids around him is a no-no. If they start running around or jumping it's
time.
