I myself don’t have kids of my own. I got Riley in April of 2008 from my former boss who had a partner who abuse Riley. It was love at first sight. Riley stolen my heart. I took him home and immediately he felt safe with me. He would go outside and bring me sticks which some of them were bigger then him. Everywhere we went Riley was with us. He loved his ropes and he loves his toy monkey. When we rescue a kitten Riley was quick to show the cat how to be a dog. Also the cat showed Riley how to be a cat. Riley was so happy when we came home with his welcoming bark and his wagging backside. When my step daughter would come and visit for some reason Riley would pee on her foot lol. Riley was truly loved by all in the family and when he would go for his walks people would stop and ask about baby.
