great pic dogmom, i love rotties too, i had helped several at the old work (my boss passed away) and situation changed, really sad.. but my old fav was "Jade" she was the meanest looking female rotty there was -even the staffs didnt trust her, she liked me not sure why..and i walked her often god i missed her even though wasnt mty dog...i guess there sometimes connection between unpredictable between breeds and personality (and i wasnt rought in face i was the gentlest in the shelter,e but stern on the walks against jumpy dogs)....they seem to have their own ways to suss people, clever rotties.
an d when they really like you, it clear in their eyes they jsut loves you and lick you a lot, its fantastic, shes even nudge with paws and roll head just to keep me there...
yeah they are big powerful, can be dangerous, but when its right they can be very loving...so i know what u miss...
