@yiyi.maiola has created a contest in order to raise funds for her dogs. She was forced to leave Venezuela but had no option but to leave her two dogs behind. Here is more information on her story and the contest instructions: (https://steemit.com/littlecontest/@yiyi.maiola/a-little-contest-for-a-big-reason)
Here is my contribution:
Shakespeare <3
Shakespeare turned 6 in September. He is a real "gentleman's" dog - loyal, gentle, sensitive, proud, protective and kind of goofy too =)
He loves to groom my cat, Dale, and runs his teeth up down her back trying to clean her. He's really gentle though and Dale loves him. We almost lost Shakespeare 2 years ago when his stomach twisted. When he finally got to come home, Dale cuddled up next to him during his recovery and didn't leave his side.
This is Shakespeare when he hadn't quite grown into his ears yet ;)
I have so much love for this boy. My gentle giant. 
Here he is trying to fit into Dale's bed.
"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different." ~ Hippocrates
Thanks for reading. Hopefully we can help @yiyi.maiola get her dogs home.
Great post, nice to meet Shakespeare, haha.

Thanks @cryptonewslight
He is a cross between a Swiss shepherd and a lab, but the Swiss shepherd appearance and temperament is more dominant in him. His brother, Einstein, from the same litter, is more like a lab. 😀

Thank you! However, Shakespeare is my dog. He's safe and with me :-) it's another girls dogs that are in Venezuela and she's trying to raise funds to get them to her (Arentina), thus the contest :)
