More: Rob was a foster fail. When he came to our family he had extremely long and matted hair. He sat so nicely for hours while I trimmed the mats by hand. Even with all those painful mats, he was always a happy and snuggly boy. I knew almost immediately that I had to adopt Rob. He just became part of our family so naturally. He and our other dog, a 11 year d schnauzer, have become best friends.
