More: Pax is a rescue. It took him a long time to trust anyone, but I knew I had to have faith in him. He’s the kindest, gentlest, most loving dog I’ve ever owned. He also made me understand why so many people love Boxers. They are wonderful dogs. He hates to get dirty. He loves car rides, walks on the beach, and he tolerates his sister, Piper. She’s a French Bulldog.
