Well, teen years anyway since I got Shadow when I was 11 and Wolf 18 months later.
Shadow the border collie mix and his amazing ears. He was put to sleep aged 9 after what I now think could have been a stroke. He'd had rear end problems for 2 years after getting loose one night and coming home with a head injury but the problems reappeared suddenly and far worse and he seemed to lose the will to live.
Wolf. His mum was a Rottie mix, his dad could have been any unneutered male in Manchester. He loved everyone and everything and your wish was his command.
He used to lie so close to that fire his fur would singe
