MEET:
Jon, Rosie & Gunner

NAMES:
Rosie & Gunner

AGES & BREEDS:
Rosie is a 4 year old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
Gunner is a 4 year old German Wire Hair Pointer

OWNER:
Jon

GOOD DEED:
We found Jon and his two furry friends recreating on the mountain. Rosie and Gunner were having a great time rolling around in the powdery snow together! Although Rosie and Gunner are great buddies, Jon knows that when other dogs come to play – watching the initial investigating behavior is important. Canines are social animals and normally enjoy the company of other pups, however, confrontations can occur when dogs of equal dominance status meet or when introduced on the home turf of another pooch. Thanks Jon for being a responsible dog owner!
