Gump is apx 7 1/2 years old. He is very friendly and gentle, mostly sleeps all day unless its breakfast and dinner time. He loves to go outside and lounge on the lounge chairs and will get in the pool to sit on the steps in the water: he can and will swim with a life vest. When I got him he was about 90 pounds and was slow to move: you could see the stress on his joints. Walks well on a leash and around other dogs/people. He was being fed a really bad diet and I've switched him to a raw food diet of turkey/sardine, veggies and greek yogurt. He weighs about 65/68 pounds now and runs pretty fast when he wants to.
