Let us share a letter with you that we received from a kind family some time ago:

"Dear Zoltan,

We hope you enjoy our special story about two Euro-Puppy bernese mountain dogs:

That's right! When you view the photos, you are NOT seeing double...Stanley's REAL brother has joined our family. Now there are over 200 pounds of canine fur living at our house...YIKES! If you think you are surprised, our heads our still spinning! Through an amazing twist of fate, we discovered that one of Stanley's littermates was in need of a new home. The story is incredible....It involves two countries, three states, three families, and two brain tumors (yes, you read that right). The odds of all of the things that transpired over the course of a mere 4 day period are astounding. We would have had better odds of hitting a major Powerball jackpot than discovering this one dog.

"I once decided not to date a guy because he wasn't excited to meet my dog. I mean, this was like not wanting to meet my mother." - Bonnie Schacter, Founder of the Single Pet Owner's Society Singles Group

A large number of Presidents of the United States have had dogs. Not all of them have had one, but there's no denying that it's an informal tradition of sorts. Today we look at President Hoover and his dog Weejie (Sometimes spelled Weegie).

The Norwegian Elkhound (that was Weejie's breed) is widely held to be one of the oldest dog breeds in the world. They were originally bred to keep the moose at bay and hold it till the hunter could come close enough to shoot.

Norwegian Elkhounds love to exercise in cold weather. In fact, without proper exercise, they can become destructive which is never a good thing. They make superb tracking dogs when trained correctly and their loud bard makes them excellent at watchdog duty too!

They are a dog breed with very few health problems and can live from anywhere between 12-16 years. Unlike lots of dog breeds, their tail is tightly curled up as seen in the picture.
