| Missouri ~ "Hero" & "Halo" |
Hero loves having stories read to him! There is a whole series of books by Alexandra Day about a Rottweiler named Carl, including:
Halo visits the library Halo is Hero’s daughter, and she is following in his huge paw prints. She earned her CGC at just six months and passed the Delta Society® therapy dog evaluation when she was just one year old. Although Halo has shown promise in and apparently loves tracking, herding, agility, and obedience, her favorite activity is therapy work. She was bottle-raised and completely bonded to humans. Perhaps she thinks she is human! |

Meet Hero, a Rottweiler. A member of the working group, Rottweilers are descended from hardworking herding dogs of ancient Roman times, and they retain a strong need for responsibility and purpose. Overall, the Rottweiler is basically a calm, confident, courageous dog. He has a wait-and-see attitude to influences in his environment and an inherent desire to protect home and family. Rottweilers are intelligent, and properly loved and cared for and trained, they are especially suited as a companion, guardian, and general all-purpose dog.
Hero absolutely loves his job. Because Rottweiler are often portrayed in a negative light by the media, Hero and his pals are working to educate the public on the many positive things Rottweilers accomplish. In fact, Hero recently won an award for his work with people ages 3 to 93.
