Morris moved back to us
around the age of five. It didn't require much
effort to make him Finnish
champion shortly after. He was a very
obedient and affectionate male. He
loved running around in the forest. He was also the guardian of Kaarninko: no
unexpected visitors could come unnoticed; his family was very important to him.
Morris had quite a life.
For many years he lived with a nice woman who took long walks with him and cared
for him. But his life hung on a thin thread on more than one occasion. Once in
the winter he ran out on a frozen lake and fell through the thin ice. After huge
efforts from his former owner (who at one point fell in herself while trying to
get him out) the fire squad managed to rescue him. There was also another
incident where he, while playing in the forest, fell down from a cliff and his
collar got stuck on a branch. They got him down on the ground but he had stopped
breathing. Thanks to first aid (mouth-to-mouth method) he woke up.
He must have
had a guardian angel watching
over him. We were
very happy to have him back running about in Kaarninko for the remainder of his
life.
His good mood made everyone smile. Thank you Morris!
