When, Where and How I Got My German Shepherd
My late husband purchased my Shepherd from a breeder in Princeton New Jersey in 1990. Fury was a puppy.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
Loving and caring. He would push my husband's slippers onto his feet using his nose. My husband had cancer at that time and no one trained my dog to do this. He also would push my husbands hand to let him know that the phone was ringing since my husband had a brain tumor and could not hear the phone ring.
