Session notes: 
Roo, Roo-e, RooRoo... this lovely gent has been in foster with my friend Debbie for months. It's kind of a mystery.
I look at the photos from this session and although they were taken not long after he was flown to Victoria, BC from Thunder Bay, ON, he's such a different dog now. I've been on two recent walks with him (12-dog forest walk and romp + from the pyrenees to the puppies) and he's so much more relaxed. He runs off leash, comes back when called and he's inquisitive.
Roo is a a survivor of the #thunderbay12.
