I took in a young Welsh Collie rescued from the dog pound on his last hour, he was about 4 1/2 months old at the time. Living in Wales we wanted a short collie type name that was also Welsh so he was immediately named Bryn. His nickname was Wonky dog as he had large feet and would sometimes trip over them!
Bryn fitted in nicely with our pack of dogs and it was love at first sight. He did have some issues with strangers and had to be handled carefully in some incidences because he could sometimes nip if frightened. Once known to him he was like a rash, he would have literally got under your skin if he could.
Bryn spent his entire life following me around and would be on my lap before I actually made contact with the chair! his head on my chest. The days when I was unwell, and they were often, he would not leave me even to go for a wee, he was like a little furry nurse.
Bryn was one of those one in a million dogs that stole your heart and was very special. he was a budding sheepdog but sadly became ill at the time I was searching for our own flock to practise with. He battled a terminal illness for 10 months and had to be pts at the tender age of 3 1/2 years old. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and although he was with me for just 3 short years he will never be forgotten and I'm eternally grateful for being able to adopt him.
