My Dog Barney
Hi I am adopting a lovely rescue dog called Barney. He is a mid-sized to big dog. He is part Whippet and maybe some kind of cattle dog. He loves people, animals and children (but forgets his size so I don't recommend he be around really young children, as he could bump one over.). I am looking for somebody who would like to have him around one day a week, when I have a long day at work. After his morning run he mainly snoozes but likes the odd cuddle. He is lovely company but does not like being left alone. He is a really smart dog and a quick learner but is still being trained. He is really nice company.
