More: I became Diesel’s third and last owner when he was only 1 1/2 years old. He is the best dog I have ever had!! He loves swimming at the lake, his favorite water toy is his orange retriever toy, his favorite house toy is his squeaky colored pig. Diesel loves car rides and going for ice cream in the summer. He hyperventilates when he has to go to the vet for a check up and will try and climb on my lap while we wait for the vet to come in. He has a very gentle soul, a loud bark that will scare off the UPS driver but is great with children of all ages, and loves being in the house.
