Are you a dog person or a cat person?

I love that type of dog! A good friend of mine had one in high school, his name was Bear.
I myself grew up with a almost 200 pound English Mastiff. The most wonderful gentle giant ever!
Until now I have always grown up with and been around big dogs, but now that I have a little guy I would have to say the poop scooping alone is well worth it and I adore having a "lap dog" of appropriate size!

Do you have any pics of your doggy?

I named mine Conan (like the barbarian).

Mine is extremely gentle to people, but has a strong teritorial instinct so i have to hold him on a leach at all times except when we are deep in a forest - if he could roam free he would try to kill every other dog in my neighborhood.

Conan looks almost exactly (even i would not be able to recognize them from more than 20 meters) like this malamute - i would not be surprised if this was his brother (from his fathers side).

Yeah !
He's a powerful chick magnet
When he was younger all local children always shouted "Cooonaaaan !" at a first sight of him and ran to pet him and accompanied us on our daily walks.

One little girl even lied to her friends that i was her father (maybe it was due to my superhero appearance at that time too hehehe (i experimented with low dosages of anabolics)) and Conan was her dog !
