More: Howl came to me as Apollo, a shy but sturdy German Shepherd pup from the Czech Republic. His has an excellent temperament and I've been able to take him everywhere with me from day one. Which is good, because he likes to keep an eye on me and sighs when I need to leave without him. He has the biggest heart of almost any creature I've met and I 100% do not deserve him. He's a Very Good Boy and my best friend. Thanks, bud.
