Hi, I'm Champ -- Pat Me!

My name is Champ and I am a Great Pyrenees Dog. Cathy Brooks from Mississippi Great Pyrenees Rescue saved my life when I was found roaming the streets there (and in pretty bad shape, too), but now I have it made in the shade. I live in Tryon, NC, which is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I am a certified Therapy Dog, which I love, and I also got my Canine Good Citizen Certificate (which I could care less about). I enjoy warning off vultures and airplanes that dare to fly over my territory and barking at coyotes that pass in the night. I also counter-surf at every opportunity.

My blog will be about my adventures as a Therapy Dog as well as about some of the animals I have helped rescue, and some others that need to be rescued.

When I was rescued, I had heartworms, not a lot of hair, and several broken teeth (I also wasn't eating too well at the time. I make up for that now.) There are a lot of animals like me, who just need a little care and a lot of love. (And food, plenty of food.)

I need another job to keep me busy (besides my Therapy Dog career and my guard-the-house gig). I am a livestock guardian dog (LGD) with no livestock to guard! I guess a blog is the next best thing.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy me.
