Cramer is a sweet and loving and gentle boy who was left behind when his family moved. An ARG volunteer recently visited Cramer and had this story to tell: >>>>> "I sat with this boy in his inside raised run for quite a while this afternoon. At first, he sat in the back of the run on a blankie, not reacting to me at all, tolerating petting and touching but not seeking it out. After about ten minutes, a big black Lab walked by. The Lab was on lead and on the way back to his run with a vet tech, but he paused on the way to sniff my leg. The Lab, not the vet tech. ... Well. Cramer lifted his ears, then his head, then barked twice sharply. ... Busted! Cramer was not as apathetic as he appeared and it was fairly clear that inferior dogs were not allowed to interrupt his pat session. ... Once busted, Cramer came out of his shell. In short order, he'd rolled over on his back to flirt, gently mouthed my hand and inched over a bit closer. Then he stood up and barked a bit then looked back for approval. He came to me to get petted. ... Five years dropped off this dog in the space of a few minutes. I heard it, heard it as loudly as though he'd spoken English: "I'm an Airedale and I'm going to live!" I thought I would cry. There was a fire in those eyes that had earlier refused to meet mine and his bony tailed wagged. Yes, he decided to live. He did." >>>>> Cramer is quite a boy. Given the chance, he'd shower his love and affection on a new family. He loves people and attention. He is used to living with dogs and cats and has done well with children in their young teens. Cramer came in very thin and matted and he's been shaved and washed and is getting yummy high calorie food. His vet is addressing a few issues from the hard life he's been living. Are you ready to share your life with this courageous 'Dale boy?
