More: Even though he has the loud, alarming bark of a Shepard, Remington is a gentle giant. He's very affectionate and loving! He is extremely smart! We never taught him this but if it is thundering and lightning outside, he jumps in the bathtub. My husband or I have to sit in the tub with him until the storm passes! He always knows when one of us is having a bad day physically, he doesn't leave our side. I don't know what I would do without him!
