2/6/11: It was snowing when I spent time with Otak yesterday - but he's such a sweet guy. My picture is just to give you an idea of what he looks like - sorry he's behind the fence :( Soon, the "professional" picture will be on MaxFund and I'll post a link to that. His previous family relinquished him to MaxFund when he got kennel cough as he they couldn't afford the basic medical care that he needed. With a little antibiotics, he's 100% well and available for adoption! It always makes me nervous when more senior dogs come in to MaxFund so I try to make their bios more upbeat. And, this guys deserves an upbeat bio...he's an active, lively guy!
I've been reading a book called "Inside of a Dog. What dogs see, smell and know" by Alexandra Horowitz - and it's fabulous! It's given me several ideas for bios and Otak's "Rules" are a modification of an idea in her book. I recommend this book for any dog-lovers!
Good day, all! I'm so glad you found me, Otak, on the MaxFund website because I cannot *wait* to tell you what I've figured out about humans during my short 10-year life. Ready? Here goes...
"Human Desires and 'Rules' According to Otak"
Most of you 2-legged folks tend to want a 4-legged companion that is friendly, loyal, pettable; who you find charming and lovable, who know that YOU are the boss, who do not potty in the house, who do not jump on guests, who do not chew on your shoes, and who do not dig through the trash. Well, you're in luck! I've got these basic requirements down and look forward to your more individualized expectations!
I'm a 57-lb perfect mix of labrador, shephard and, retriever. Since I shared with you how I plan to keep you happy, let me tell you what I'm looking for in a Family. I'd appreciate regular walks (I'm very well-behaved on a leash), regular meal times, & some loving and attention. Really, that's all I ask for...I'm a rather easy-going guy. With that said, don't presume that I'm a couch potato - I definitely like to be out and about with the best of them! I enjoy the company of well-behaved dogs and older children. I don't think I'd appreciate living with either cats or very young children - neither of those lil' buggers tend to appreciate my emphasis on the above 'Rules'.
When my previous family couldn't take care of me anymore, I'm grateful they brought me to MaxFund where I am well cared for until my new, lucky Family comes along! I look forward to meeting YOU and figuring out how I can keep YOU most happy! Just ask for "Otak"!
