Hoss is a great dog to allow the kids to play on him as they do. Judah loves him so much and always wants to either ride his back or hug and kiss him. Last year Hoss had surgery for cancer and is doing great. He is a great addition to our family and was once mine but he decided he liked to be at mom and dads better than my house. Hoss is about 8 years old, born on Christmas eve.
