A Helping Hand

Some dogs just know who needs a helping hand. This red setter was very shy and a little overwhelmed at the dog park the other day. Gumbo knows just what to do. He sees his job as helping out the shy ones, getting them relaxed and willing to play.


And it works almost 100% of the time. They played for several minutes and when she left the park with her owner her tail was waving high.

  2. Gumbo is very well-adjusted, as well as handsome. I think I need a Gumbo to teach my girl Lady some doggie social skills. (She liked her "brother", but now that he is gone she isn't very happy with the neighborhood dogs, except for a West Highland White Terrier. She loves him, unaccountably.)
