What a nice story. Thank you for sharing that.
We have an Akita, her name is Kona. She is the best dog. She sheds like crazy - but she is part of the family and I love her to death.
When family and friends heard we were getting an Akita, we had gotten alot of criticism. Akita's have a reputation for not being that nice. But Kona is the BEST. She is so good with the kids. She is so docile. She's like a big teddy bear.
