Po wasn't a pet, he was a member of the family, had opinions and made statements through actions. He was our first venture with an Anatolian Shepard. Having always had German Shepard dogs we needed something to deter the eagles from having our chickens for dinner and he did. We found he loved his people hard, took his responsibilities very seriously and I felt he would have given his life for me if there was ever a need. He was there for me when I needed him, I hope I was there for him. At 160lbs he was part of the family.
