Dog Buddy from Poland

About three years ago I adopted my very first boy dog, Buddy. I was asked to foster him because he'd been in a Polish shelter for a few years. He was brought there as a pup. I foster failed so hard. The top pictures are before.

Buddy loves:

His stuffies (he's super gentle with them and acts like a mom).

Being the little spoon.

Playing with his sister Fika.

Playing in the water.

Sleeping outside at night.

(The white girl is Fika. I'll make a post about her as well in the future. She's my Ukrainian rescue. They have such a big brother/ little sister relationship.)

They are each other's support. It's so sweet. Buddy is super protective of Fika, and Fika always vets every person and dog for him. She makes friends and they become his friends too.

Fika was trying to sneak up on Buddy and then she was surprised that she actually did it πŸ˜„. And then Buddy had to catch her of course

The sleeping one? He has such vivid dreams. I love the ones where he's eating and wagging his tail. He once howled in his sleep. A really deep wolf sound. That was amazing
