We have had Paprika since he was 5 weeks old. He was given to my daughter for Christmas when she was 3 years old as a guard dog & protector. He took his job very seriously, never left her side their whole lives together. He was the sweetest most gentle guard dog there was. He loved to play in the snow & be crazy outside. He was the best dog & we will greatly miss him with his super soft ears, & “milk toes & chin”. He moved with us through many states, born in Texas, moved to VA, back to TX, then to MN & lastly to MI. He loved a car rides because everyone who was important to him was trapped in the same box where he could easily look out for everyone! He was our big lug & there is going to be a giant hole in our lives now. We are grateful for the time we had with him, 14 years is a long time for a German shepherd mix!
