More: Our dog Rudy is loved by his family and he loves us in return. It took us 5 years to bring another dog into our home after our cocker spaniel passed away .. and he was worth the wait. Rudy is loving, gentle to the touch, extremely smart and loves the great outdoors just like his owners .. we are lucky to have him as he brings us continuous joy .. .. oh, I failed to mention what a handsome dog!
