I love my loyal Siberian Husky / White Shepard hybrid... Maximus

the dude is stout, needs very little and food and travel incredible distance... has poor night vision, usually trails me when we return... every time I take him hiking, he goes back and forth probably covering 3x the normal amount of distance herding everyone in the pack, only problem is he can't clear large boulders especially when icy and full of snow, and weighing at 60 lbs I can't carry him up a slope #-o
