BRUNO THE BEAST

A few days ago, I enlisted my husband's help, and took Bruno on an adventure to Fish Creek Provincial Park. 

Bruno is a 40KG, 7 month old rottweiler mix puppy who knows his basic commands. Due to his size, I was worried to walk him alone, simply due to the fact that he could pull me around if he wanted to, but I was happily surprised to be proven wrong; he was a dream!

Bruno was brought to the rescue when his previous owner simply could not manage his size and power. He is a respectful pup, but he is quite large, and he does have a lot of power in that adorable body. He knows basic commands, is not overly energetic, is great in the car, and with some basic training will be an amazing dog!

Without further due meet Bruno, try not to fall in love with his gorgeous orange eyes!

Our adventure night came, we packed up the camera, put on our walking shoes, and headed to the rescue to pick up our buddy for the night. 

When we picked him up, he willingly jumped into the car, sat as we buckled him in, and immediately hung his head out the car. He was quite the clown, often greeting people in other cars as we were stopped at red lights. 

When we arrived at Fish Creek, he waited until we unbuckled him, but as soon as we hit the trails his nose was working in over drive. He stopped every 5 steps to smell something different, watched the birds as they flew by, and listened to people talking in the distance.  

We chose to take the path less traveled, which involved walking through some higher grass, and down by the water but as you will see none of us minded. 

I've always been one that has been nervous around bigger dogs and their power, but he was such a gentle walker, especially for a puppy!

Almost to the water!

At this point we weren't sure if Bruno was even a fan of  the water, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions with the next few photos of how he felt. 

It was nearly impossible to get a photo of him as soon as his paw first hit the water! It is safe to say that this dog LOVES being in the water. 

We spent about an hour at the river, Bruno went in, came out, rested along the shore, came for some cuddles, and then back out into the water. He never pulled us, respected the length of the leash and was an all around good dog. I'm glad we took him, as I am now comfortable to take him out on more adventures, with my husband but also by myself. 

What a majestic sea creature!

It was a bit hard to convince Bruno that it was time to leave (see below photo as evidence). He kept pretending he had no idea what I was saying, and kept trying to convince me to go back into the water. 

This pup had loads of energy, but once we were back in the car he dozed off on the way home, head still hanging out the window.

 He was such a nice addition to our night adventure, and we would take him again anytime. 

Here's to hoping Bruno finds his furever family soon, he so deserves it!
