***Your Animal Goes Here***

Buddy
This is a story about Buddy who is a three year old, 55lb 
short hair border collie.  This is full disclosure of his bad habits... he just needs a single man owner... no kids in the house.  If you're a single guy, this might be the perfect animal for you.  

His owner writes:  

"...Buddy 'goes to the bathroom' on command.  Very helpful when it's freezing outside.  He is up to date on all shots and heart worm treatments.  He Is a sweet dog and easy to train if you are bigger than him.  Although I taught him how to sit, lay down and take dog cookies gently.  We bought him from a breeder of short haired border collies but have no papers.  He was always a shy puppy, and frightened by loud noises, things like the vacuum."  

"Buddy was nipping when he was very young, and for a time growled and snapped if you got near his food.  We trained him to wait and take food nicely from our hands.  He has bitten teenage boys.  He has bitten my younger girl, 18, once over food he had stolen.  He bit the four year old daughter of a good friend of mine twice.  My friend said it was her daughter's fault, that she was bothering him.  He recently escaped out of 
Buddy
our home twice.  He went charging at a kid at the end of our street one day...", "...my 19 year old daughter got him to stop but he rolled over and when she reached for his collar he snapped at her, then at me.  He rolls over in submission when we finally get him to stop."  

"It's a sad situation and I really wonder if there is any chance for him at all.  If he were smaller, I feel I would have more options.  But he is very strong and I am only 5'1" and 100 lbs.  My husband is 6'2" so you can see the difference in how he would behave with me and my daughters-all very small and tiny."

Anyway, he bites children and it would seem some miracle person would have to appear magically to help Buddy out."
