Filler of the day: Gustav, a pup with Swedish human name…

Gustav is Swedish or Scandinavian and means “royal staff” or “staff of the Gods”. Makes sense. He is treated as royalty in our house, at least it seems like it. But why the dog got that name I don’t know, it was his name when we got him. We’re fostering at the moment, and it may take a long time before he heals after his surgeries and mange attack. Maybe 14 years (?) In the two weeks we have had him, Gustav have learned that medication is bitter, and that canned or dry food is extremely good. Pizza and hamburgers smell better than his food. He is not too fond of hospitals, but loves people. He thinks dogs are facinating, he loves his toys and his bed. Sometimes he does not want to listen at all. Just like a normal kid. Maybe that’s why the dog was given a human name like Gustav? You can read more about his ordeals here: www.gsroc.org/presskit.html
