Beautiful dog. When I was very very small, 1-2 years old, we had a neighbor who had a German Shepherd who was attached to me. He would lay down and I would go over to see him and often fell asleep on him. And when I fell asleep on him, mom said nobody got near him or me. I do remember when we moved, he tried to follow us. I wish I could remember him more. He certainly thought I was his "human". Blessings to all of you fine people!
