Pet of the Week- Stryker! |
|
Believe it or not Stryker is a Newfoundland. He has had some skin issues in the past and has been shaved. This big joker is a bundle of fun and energy. He is also very gentle and respectful. He will bark at other dogs but otherwise is quite quiet. We don't know the extent of his hair returning, time will tell. Stryker seems to do well with other dogs, cats and kids!
