Our lovable mountain puppy

Hachi is rapidly turning into an amazing mountain dog.  He can run like the wind in the snow.

He dances like no one's watching in mountain meadows.

He can leap like super dog!

Most of all, he is an incredibly affectionate, sweet, and playful dog soul. 
He does have a couple of quirks due to spending the formative first few weeks of his life on the streets. I've found it to be difficult to write about those because I simply want to cure them. We have been working very hard to help him to understand that he's safe and can trust us to take care of him now. He doesn't have to fight to get enough to eat or assess whether people and dogs can be trusted.

Fortunately, he completely and utterly trusts his canine and human family. He can chill out and be a silly puppy while his siblings and humans take care of him.
Our hearts are filled with joy to have this amazing boy as part of our family.

  3. I love those leaping levitating photos and he is so good at both... Jake never did get over his distrust of strange dogs and strangers. but I did not know how to train him. now I do.

  13. He is a cutie, no doubt about. Reading you're working on his formative weeks issues gives me hope with Elsa. Despite being sweet, loveable and funny, she can be reactive when we are out on walks. But she's smart and learning. One step at a time. Good luck Hachi!

  22. I don't know if I ever told you this, but Piper had had a rough start in life before she landed here on Easy Street, and there were a couple of issues we had to work through gently, over time. I was so deeply happy when I realized she had reached a point where she genuinely expected everyone to love her. I can't say for sure how long it took, but she was maybe 6 months old when I adopted her, and she was perhaps a year or 18 months when I had to start worrying that she would feel so confident she might just take the keys to the car and head out for a weekend :)
