Dear Burt and Tracy,

I have to start off by saying 'Thank You' for letting me adopt "Ivan" and "Jersey."

They are the greatest, and loving to the whole family.

They are absolutely perfect with the kids and that means the world to me.

I currently babysit 2 kids along with my 2.

The ages in my house are 7 years, 4 years, 3 years and 1 year.

For the people out there who want to get one of your Gentle Giants, but are afraid they
will hurt the kids, I hope they will see my photos and understand that they truly are 
'Gentle Giants.'

When kids come over, they ask where are the 'Pretty Ponies,' they are so big they 
think they are 'Ponies,' not dogs.  Really, they are just members of our family and 
we love them!

We got "Jersey" when my daughter, Rylee, was just barely crawling, and it has been a 
truly great experience for her to grow up with such a big dog.

Thanks again.

You are wonderful people for doing all that you do.

I will continue to help in any way I can, and I am working on more donations.

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

Amanda with "Ivan" and "Jersey"

Dear Tracy and Burt:

Just wanted to drop you a line and send a couple pictures of "Rocky." He is a perfect fit with our family. We are still amazed and impressed that he came completely trained.

Although he is still a pup, he doesn't chew - or dig - and is thoroughly housebroken.

The gentle lead has made all the difference in the world in taking him for walks.

All children (young and old) love a St. Bernard and whenever we go for walks, inevitably someone will come up to pet him or "Daisy."

He is wonderful with everyone.

What a gentle spirit he has!

Thank you once again for the wonderful service you provide and for helping unite us with "Rocky."

We will definitely be back for another Gentle Giant.

Sincerely,

Diane and Steve
