When Maureen and Dave Wilson filled out an application to adopt a rescue dog, they asked for a large pooch that could help them monitor their rural farm property in Parry Sound, Ont., and protect their chickens from predators.
They also wanted to make sure the dog had a thick coat, so it wouldn't shiver through the cold winters like their beloved Boxer, who passed away at the age of 13.
Leonard, who they adopted in early 2019, checked all those boxes. But it turns out the rescue mutt, who's about 11 years old now, also has the soul of a philosopher. |
