“Im 12 and my mom and dad finally agreed to get me a puppy, but i don't know what kind? We live on the water and we live down a long dirt road and we're surrounded by woods. I want a great dane but I'm not sure if they like the water or the woods. My friend said to get a blood hound, and i need help picking out one. My mom has had breast cancer from the beginning of 2009 and she can get stressed a lot, so i need a outside dog. If your reading this please help me choose. Thanks!!!!!” — razzle_dazzl..., Oct 22 2009
