(I think he swayed the judges by performing a couple of quick tricks)

Here's a bit of history on Scout. I adopted him from a local animal shelter where I'd found the 8 wk. old, 10 lb. pup. He'd been nursed back to health after almost starving to death. His previous owner's children failed to feed him as promised, so by the time the shelter got to him, he couldn't walk. While no one is sure exactly what breeds make up Scout, I use the description created by the assistant manager at his daycare- part Great Dane, part "handsome stranger"!
With a lot of love and training, Scout's grown into a wonderful pet and companion. He turned 3 years old in February 2007, and he now weighs in around 80 lbs. He loves riding in the car, visits to the dog park, and trips to our nearby pet superstore.
Scout has grown up with several high-tech accessories: an Invisible Fence to keep him in his yard, a Solo electronic dog door to let him in and out of the house, an electronic training collar, and now his webcam. Scout even has his own email address! From what I've seen, Scout sleeps A LOT while I'm away, so you may not see him doing much. If you don't see him but hear him barking, he's probably either in the living room or outside. Yes, he does have a loud bark!
Visit his homepage for more photos, a couple of short video clips, and even a diary!
