Semper is absolutely the most wonderful dog. He was a part of our family immediately.  There was no adjustment period.  We loved him the minute we first saw him after PWP called us to say they had an American Bulldog that needed a home.  Just the day before we asked them to keep their eyes out for us.    How lucky was that?   He was so gracious and grateful from the moment he came into our home.  He owns us now.

I have no doubt he was meant to be with us under the circumstances in which he came to us.  Even with all his issues, we never hesitated to make him ours.
I know deep down inside of him the situation PWP helped rescue him from has made him appreciate his forever home.  We had the opportunity to help save his life and brought him into our family, and in turn I know there is no doubt he would risk his life for everyone of us.
He is a wonderful boy and we are blessed!
