Dexter is a 7-year-old German Short Haired Pointer and Great Dane mix. You’d never know he is middle-aged if you met him; he has the energy of a 2-year-old puppy!

When I first met Dexter we played fetch in the Peekskill Dog Park. I couldn’t get over how much he loved the game, and how he literally threw the ball back at me with a toss of his head.

Maybe one day I can take pictures of Dexter with his girlfriend (yes folks, this handsome fella is taken — by a Pitbull who lives close by). Thanks Allison, I hope you enjoy your preview.
