The Mighty Thor

We have been kicking it around for a while, and finally pulled the trigger on getting another dog. We've been checking rescue sites, the paper, and the humane society for a little bit looking for something in the vicinity of a German Shepherd, or a Labrador or Golden Retriever. Yesterday we walked into the humane society and saw what looks to be all of those wrapped up into one. He is 2 years old and was given up because he was too big (what moron doesn't realize that such a dog is going to get big?). He is very sweet natured and was good around the kids. Today we took Tundra up there to see how they would get along, and came home with him. He had been named Sam, but we have changed that to Thor - a far more fitting and unique name. The only disadvantage is that he had been an outdoor dog, so he is not fully housebroken. Also they had kept him constantly on a chain which is just not good, and by the way he occasionally cowers I think they might have hit him. He will certainly have plenty of love here. Saoirse is not so sure about him yet, but I believe they will come to an understanding soon.
