Achilles, ~4 year old Great Dane. Forcibly removed from his past owners, then we rescued him from a humane society up in WA. Deathly afraid of fly swatters & hose pipes, would run for the hills whenever I took my belt off. Painfully thin.
Now named Duke, still doesn’t like fly swatters or hose pipes, no longer bothered when I take my belt off. Now 114#.
Now very much a part of the family, and thoroughly enjoyed a week at the coast this fall...
