Red has a heart as big as the mood, he is full of generosity and love.  He pays little attention to Gus, and declines his many invitations to play. Gus worships Red, follows him around, licks him and crawls all over him. Red is a model of patience and acceptance, he simply waits for Gus to get bored and move onto something else.

Quite often, Gus and/or Fate will leap right over him as they tear around the yard or the house together. Red never moves, complains or gets rattled. And Gus is undeterrable.

We are so lucky to have Red, Gus and Fate play all day, but a different dog would make life hard for Gus, and for us. I am so grateful for Red, he has enriched my life in so many ways, and also enriched the lives of other people. Gus will never stop crawling all over him and demanding that he play, and Red will accept this new pest in his life with grace.
