A Dog’s Life: Kennedy Esq. GSD & His Love For Other Animals - IMRAN™ In the first few months of my getting Kennedy as a gift, my precious rescue German Shepherd Dog, I walked 25000 steps daily (12.1 miles max one day for me) with him. Until the Florida summer and time constraints made that unsustainable, it became about 10,000 daily steps on average since then. This photo of Kennedy and the bunny just casually watching each other was taken on May 10, 2019. That was exactly 5 years ago from my writing these lines tonight. His care for other animals was mind blowing. He was clearly a young GSD between 3-5 years old then. He loved chasing squirrels up into trees. But then one night during our walk he found a dazed & confused squirrel in the middle of the street. It had likely struck the side of car tyre so it wasn’t bleeding or injured, but in shock. By the time I realized what it was, there was no time to pull in the retractable leash Kennedy was on. I was worried the alpha male predator in him would rip the poor small creature (as he did to a toy squirrel the first night I had him!). Instead, I was stunned as Kennedy nuzzled the shocked and now doubly-surprised squirrel to my neighbor’s grass on the side of the street! We stood for a few minutes watching. Then, sure enough, the little animal got back to its full senses and successfully ran off into the night. Kennedy just had this look of joy on his face as he looked up at me.
