Our dog, Pico (with a long "i"), is appoximately 5 years old; I've had 
him for most of his life (since he was about 2 weeks old).
he is approximately 45 lbs.
He is neutered, and he is a mix... we've been told he's a mix of some
combination of Lab, Rottweiler, Chow, and German Shephard.  He looks 
more like a lab than anything.
If needed, I can get all of his medical records from 2 local vets.

Here are some pictures of him (right column):

My reason for trying to find him a new home:  I've had him with
another dog and my other dog just recently (2 weeks ago) passed away
suddenly from a liver disease (or possibly even cancer).  She was 11
years old, and I had her for 10 years; she was a very very very good
companion to Pico (they played with each other so well, and kept each
other company).  Both dogs were taken in by myself as stray dogs.  We
also had our first child 2 years ago, and the attention that we have
been able to give to our 2 dogs had never been as much as it used to
be.  Pico is a dog that really enjoys a companion dog, or owners who can 
give him a lot of attention (more than we can give him anymore because 
of our child).  His favorite thing is to be pet on the head or chin (he 
often rests his chin on your leg or rubs his head on your hand), and he 
is not (never been) a "licking" dog.  He has never gotten into any food 
or licked anyone (we have no idea why).  Also, 2 years ago, we had moved 
into a house that does not have a fenced-in backyard (nor much of a 
backyard); our previous house had a large fenced in backyard for both of 
our dogs.  So both of our dogs have been living indoors for the past 2 
years without any problems.. but we do know that Pico enjoys the 
outdoors more than indoors (he likes to "pounce" around like a horse).

Please email me at (ttorimoto-at-yahoo-dot-com) if you are interested, 
or know of anyone who may be.

Cute dog... would he be suitable for (1) being a country dog and (2) as a 
companion  for a 10 year old boy?
