Friday night, my brother Jon's family lost a member. Gracie, their 11-year-old Rottweiler, had to be put down. Gracie was a great dog, completely devoted to my niece, Renee. Gracie will be terribly missed.
I know Rottweilers have a bad reputation in some circles, but Gracie was a sweet, gentle, playful dog who never hurt anyone and never would have-- except in defense of Renee or other members of her family. Though not huge for a Rottie, she had the classic Rottie look, so nobody in their right mind would've challenged her. The family knew, though, that Gracie always saw herself as a lap dog.
