This girl is simply one of a kind. It's as if she personifies everything we are trying to explain about the huge dogs, the misunderstood, the lazy, the sleeping Buddhas that lay in a corner and simply exist just to make the environment look nicer and to make you smile. It's as if her purpose in life is to prove that the bigger the dog, the quieter it is. Nala exists to make you smile, to lay on your feet and snore while you pet her. She loves to have her neck rubbed, her ears and her belly. She sits there while we brush her and cuddle her for hours. The only thing she does to make you realize that she is there is to poke you with her paw if you stop petting. She is a very tender and lazy dogs, trapped in the body of a bear. No matter how much we enjoy her presence, we don't want to have her around at the shelter. She deserves better. So she is looking for a home, but..ermmm..her new family would have to be the less athletic possible!
