I have made wonderful and lasting friendships in this strange world of German Shepherds. We remain close over the many years and many miles. As in all things in life, some people just won't like you. No reason, none necessary. Treasure those doggie friends you make along the road and dismiss the others. Above all, love your German Shepherd Dogs.
