My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

WOW, what an awesome dog this is, I can't understand why his owner surrendered him to a shelter. He is very smart, I put him out in the backyard on a cable, since I wasn't sure if he would try to jump the fence or not, he knew I was in the house and I have french doors with the long handle on them, He was using his nose to push the handle up and when that didn't open the door, he took the handle in his mouth and pushed up on it, that didn't work so he pushed down with his mouth. Luckily the door is sticking in this wet weather, we are having, or he would be IN the house...Onyx is 8 yrs old according to his papers, I went out back to play ball with him and he LOVES to go fetch the ball and even brings it back and after a bit of mouthing the ball, drops it at your feet for you to throw again. He is a very sweet dog, loving his pets and loves to ride in the vehicle. He has a shorter coat, so I think he was a house dog. This guy will make someone a wonderful companion. Seems to ignore other dogs around him.
