Kong:
You have got to meet the wonderful hound. Even if your matcher says he isn’t on your selection list please make the effort to meet him. Ask to meet him.
So we’ve foster quite a few hounds over the years. I’ve learned to guard against Greyhound Heart Thief. That being said, Kong from the start coming off the hauler has been working me. Kong isn’t the over the top Mr Personality, jock, movie star, party on kinda guy. He an average size dog that plays he has an average personality. Not so, but here’s the thing. Like a good gambler guarding his cards, Kong holds his personality very close to the vest.
Many dogs you’ll meet at adoption day will bowl you over with look at me, lick your face, pick me.....pick me kinda thing. Kong is more like “Cool Hand Luke” With a quick Whaz-Up acknowledgement to see if you wanna work at knowing him. He’s that dog that’s going to make you channel your inner Cesar Milan to “get it”. Take a minute and take a knee look straight in those almond eyes and rub under his chin. I’ll bet he’ll give you a quick flash of who he is. Be careful he’ll suck you in.
Kong is that deep soulful guy that will take a lifetime to really know but he’s so worth it. He’ll pay you back....with a deep affection that will last your lifetime.
More later about my friend Kong.
