Description
This is my Jack Russell Bob. He has just had his 16th birthday. Whilst he is finally showing signs of slowing down, he is still happy and gallops around the garden each day. He is loyal, totally fearless and brave. He has been a good mate. The best mate a bloke could wish for. If any other big dogs have approached myself or my 69 kg Boxer over the years, he has ALWAYS put himself between them and us. Since he was born, he has always been bravery personified. In his day, he has fought off Pitbulls, and a host of other characters 5 times his size. He was basically cut in half last year to remove tumours from all over his body. He emerged from the vet's covered in blood...........cancer free...........he jumped in the car..........went home..........and had dinner.............and the next day was running around like nothing had happened. If it had of been me, I would have milked it for 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!! He is tough, in the truest sense of the word, and I will always respect him for it.
He is my mate.
He is Bob!

Bob is beautiful - he looks like a happy guy!
Very nice boy! ;-)
Animals are the best friends and Bob seems to be a superb mate. Lovely shot!
A better dedication than that is just not possible. Super jack and long may he live so long as he is not suffering.
ADORABLE !
Fantastic little guy, must have a strong will to carry on with life. Nice photo Andrew. Stan
Fabulous capture and story
Hi Bob and Happy Birthday!
Sweet Sixteen to you Bob! What a guy. Sounds like any of these names would fit: Indefatigable, Indomitable, Intrepid:)
great looking dog and 16 years is a long time for a canine. I doubt if neither of my two dogs would try and defend each other or me
What an amazing little chap i just read your narrative, god bless him it is true what they say mans best friend and sometimes the best friend you can ever have, thank you for sharing :)
He is adorable!! His eyes says, Shall we play =)
Wonderful to see him so shiny and well! I remember that op. Nothing better than canine pals, for sure.
Great capture and story. He is Super Lovely Bob !!!

Superb capture of your canine friend Bob. He sure looks happy and healthy. Congratulations with his birthday and a very good age he has reached. God bless.
What a dog ! what a friend ! and what a life ! - a friend for life, and you can call yourself very lucky ... 16 years ! WOW ! and the present from you - wait for it! - is your favourite Winter Doona to keep him warm and cosy, what more could Bob ask for ? precious image, BB
aha, now I can see the resemblance to the Kelly's ;P ... no, not BOB ! speaking strictly of your new avatar ...
Of course he's tough - he's a British breed :)
What a fantastic friend you have, you're lucky!
A cute little fellow with a mighty heart. Such a wonderful shot of a best friend, such love and loyalty will last beyond a lifetime.
Sixteen years as your "wingman" - what an honor Andrew and lets hope for many more years at your side!
