And how special a pup he is, and adorable! When we adopted our border collie, the first night with us he alerted us to a fire starting to burn in our back room. It was the middle of the night, hubs and I were sound asleep with the door closed... but Einstein raised such a ruckus he managed to get us up and led us straight to the fire. Thanks to him, all we lost was a plastic shelving unit and singed rocks on the wall. And yes, I gave him the name "Einstein" that very night... I figured he had earned it! Hail to the dogs who keep us safe and love us unconditionally!
