Otto is a very well-mannered gentleman-of-a-certain-age. The neutered, Shepherd – Great Pyrenees could fit smoothly into nearly any social gathering. However, Otto could never play poker. His face shows exactly how he feels. The fellow, who’s loved his family for six years, is heartbroken and inappropriately apologetic. Otto believes that he must have done something wrong to be discarded.

He didn’t. His people told the shelter staff that they “had no time for him.” Yet, the staff has never seen Otto ask for very much from people at all. They say, “He’s been an absolute sweetheart.”

Of course, while Otto doesn’t ask, he’d love to gently stroll with a friend. He’d love to lie at his person’s feet. Otto would love to be allowed to love.
