This is Tucker our first Dane we adopted at 18 months old.
This picture was taken 20 hours before we had to put him down due to congestive heart failure at young 6 years 2 months old. I took him to the best veterinary cardio unit in the state but the cards weren't in his favor.
Tucker and his older brother Rev were a squirrel and racoon hunting team 365 days of the year.
The vacancy he left within our household was immense and as luck would have it we came across another Dane that was up for adoption 30 days later. Duke has turned out to be a very special companion and convinced me that I'll never be without a Great Dane as long as I'm physically able.
He's also an exceptional squirreler.
One thing is certain...…. I've never met a bad dog, only dogs that have been screwed up by abusive POS humans.
