Teddy came into our lives September 2002 through ATRA after being surrendered by a family who didn't have enough time for him. If anyone has second thoughts about adopting an older dog they should meet our 8 year old Teddy! He loves to race around the big maple in the backyard playing "tag" with his sister Trudi. Teddy bounces around like a cross between a moose and a kangaroo with his paws flying out in front of him. He certainly doesn't act like an older dog!

We've had the joy of introducing Teddy to camping. He didn't seem familiar with hiking in the woods but he soon figured out about climbing over logs and up on rocks and now he really enjoys our adventures.

There are so many wonderful things about Teddy - the way his little tail blurs when he hears "walk", the way he just wants to be part of everything we do, the way he puts his head in our laps when he just wants some fussin'... He's such a sweet dog and he's also 100% Airedale! He flips the leashes around with his face when he thinks it's time to go for a walk, he's a counter-surfing thief, he has a great sense of humour, and he knows how to demand attention with the famous Airedale BIGNOSEPOKE. We wouldn't trade those antics for the world!

A great big THANK YOU to all Airedale rescuers everywhere for our wonderful boy Teddy!
