Proud mummy alert!

Bruno made me a very proud mummy yesterday on our evening walk. I ended up walking around the park with a nice lady, chatting away about dogs and whatever else. She was fussing over Bruno and said "You're so cute now aren't you but you're going to be scary when you're grown up!" so I said "Well, he'll probably look like a tough dog but he'll still be as soppy as he is now!" with a laugh.
She then went on to say how staffies have a bad reputation, which I responded to with the usual 'it's the owners' mantra. Then she said "Oh yes oh yes I totally agree! It's always the owners, unfortunately the wrong sort of people happen to like these dogs don't they? But Bruno is obviously lovely and is getting good training, he's going to be lovely!"
Our whole walk Bruno was doing perfect recalls if he was getting too far away and playing nicely with her dog, who was sharing her ball with him even though he had no idea what to do with it!

It's nice to get recognition of the time we put in for his training and to change people's perception of the breed Smile

I went home with a big grin on my face to tell the OH!

What a star!

Is that a harness he has on, the orange thing? Or is it a car safety harness?

It's his harness, we found his blue one rubbed a bit on his armpits so are trying this style instead. He used to rub the blue ones along walls as he was walking but doesn't do it with this one so I'm taking it as a good sign!
