Alexander's Steed

I would like to introduce you to Bucephalus. He's less than a year old and he's spent almost all of that time in a pet store (liars! when was the last time you saw a pit bull in a pet store?) and then a shelter. He chews stuff. Kind of a lot. But other than that he seems like basically the perfect dog. At 9 months old he walks on the leash like a dream and doesn't freak out when someone comes to the door and he listens when other dogs tell him to quit whatever sweet submissive behavior he's engaging in. When he oh-so-gently licked my hand I think I fell in love.

  1. I call him Bocephus. 'Cause I'm from Tennessee.

  2. Bocephus is a fantastic name for a dog, Kath. And this one is just too cute.

  3. I had to look up Bocephus but I'm laughing now! I saw him again last night and he's still just so cute.

  4. I hate the stigma attached to these dogs because they really are beautiful. And I believe the owners who treat them badly should be the ones put to sleep.
    He is so cute. What a face. I can feel this one in my gut.

  5. Wow! There I am, just wandering around your blog at random and... there's my dog! And your "who's Bucephalus" link is unusually good without being unusually long.

    Thanks, Kizz@!
