    Hi Janey, I just want to have a bit of a moan at you for not getting a dog from one of the many dog pounds/rescue centres etc in this country. I don't understand why anyone would choose to save a dog from abroad when there are so many dogs who need a loving home in this country. I equate it to importing migrants when we have so many homeless people living on the streets of the UK who need help. That being said, I am a dog person and I thing he is absolutely lovely. Such a beautiful looking dog and a lovely temperament. He looks so good with Johnny!! I hope he fits in with your cat and farm animals and you can keep him. It would be so good for you and even better for him!! :-)

      Hey Paul, you’re not the first, and a few months ago I may have even agreed with you. However, I applied to a LOT of local shelters, and for each dog that would be suitable for us (older, cat friendly, non aggressive), in each case the shelters had 40+ applications for those dogs. And even though I work from home and live on a farm, I wasn’t even passed by many of them because I don’t have a 6 foot high secure garden (even though I’ve got a whole farm!) 🤷‍♀️
      Would it have been better to wait months, or years for them to approve us for a UK dog? As I said in the video, I would much rather have taken on a local dog in need. But when I saw Sunny and started learning about the horrors these Romanian dogs go through, it was a no brainer to offer him our home 🥹 Ultimately, a dog in need is a dog in need.

      Lots of rescues from this country wont let you rehome if you work or have children. Therefore only option is to either buy a puppy from a breeder which is buying into the breeding industry or rescuing one from abroad that could be killed.

    What a handsome boy, and witha lovely sweet nature too! We also have a Romanian dog - a german shepherd/rottweiler cross and she's been the most perfect companion since we got her 7 years ago. I'd encourage anyone to thnk seriously about adopting a Romanian dog as a pet - they'll reward you with so much love. Sunny has a wonderful home with you and I look forward to following his adventures :)

    OMG he is just adorable. He holds his paw like my boy, a sign of a bit of pointer in him and definitely a hunting dog by the looks of it. His tail looks very german shepherd like. All beautiful dogs. I do know those vans have to stop every so many hours to walk the dogs. If this happens I don't know and can only speak of Spanish rescue dogs which is what my Toby was. I can't see much work getting done for a few weeks!!! Enjoy this time getting to know him and him you but I think Johnny has a shadow! Beautiful!

    I recently lost my Romanian rescue dog after 10 years, she was such a big personality my house feels empty even though I have another dog, right up to the end she was so playful and noisy I miss her so much. They are so cruel in those kill shelters beating the dogs to death with shovels or injecting them with paint, well done for rescuing Sunny I hope you have many years of joy with him.

      I really think we have! Apparently we won’t see his true personality for several more weeks, or even months, as he decompresses from everything he’s been through. But underneath he’s a kind, intelligent soul so I think we’re going to be good 🤞☺️

Once he began to trust us he's come forward in leaps and bounds. Biggest snuggle bug ever now. He has one ear and a huge scar from one side of his head to the other. These dogs have been to hell and bk literally but the capacity for forgiveness and love they have is unbelievable. He is well worth the tears and anxiety he gave us 💜
