More: Emmylou is the sweetest and happiest dog! My husband has wanted an English springer spaniel for over 20 years. His college roommate in Mississippi has one named Amos who made such an impression on him. Emmylou hardly gets upsets or barks. She loves people, loves us chasing her in the back yard, she loves going for walks and meeting new friends. She is the best and she has made our family complete.
