This is our first dog Ike. We got him from the pound when he was just a puppy. He was terribly sick with Parvo when we first got him and he almost died but we spent many sleepless nights up with him spoon feeding him medicine and making sure he was still breathing. Most dogs die from Parvo but eventually Ike pulled out of it and before long he was a normal puppy. Technically he was Mike's dog and while I loved him he always seemed to favor Mike over me. :) He was part Blood Hound and part Rottweiler which caused him to be quite territorial and aggressive sometimes, which lead to the reason we had to eventually get rid of him. He was always cuddly and made an excellent pillow. He is greatly missed.
