More: God must have whispered ‘hey Bravo! be man's best friend’ in this dog's ear when he was born. He touches the heart of those he meets. He seems to prefer people to other dogs and watches the other six family dogs to make sure they do not try to claim his human. He loves the lake, especially when it is frozen and he can compete for the blue ball. Airedales are a special breed, part clown, part guardian and full time family member. Bravo is an ideal example.. Love him.
