Ashrac’s Vintage Cognac – “Cody”
Black & Red Female German Shepherd Dog
Cody was my first German Shepherd. She was a typical GSD – intelligent, loyal, protective, and very loving.
She came from police dog stock – her Great Grandfather was the first police dog on the Waterloo Regional Police force. That breeding was still evident a number of generations later. When upset or concerned, and at nearly 100 lbs., she was very much a force to be reckoned with.
Her self-appointed job was to be my protector. Once when a friend’s dog growled at me and wouldn’t back down, Cody leaped between us and managed to make that Husky-Wolf cross back off completely despite being at about a 20 lbs. disadvantage. Before I knew it, Cody had the other dog upside down and was standing on its chest.
Her everyday personality couldn’t have been more different. I once found my 4 year old cousin sitting between Cody and her dish passing handfuls of dog food one at a time for Cody to eat. Not too many dogs will be so patient at dinner time with a young child slowing down the dining experience.
‘Frisbee’ was her game, although ‘ball’ wasn’t too bad either.
She was my best pal for 13 years and I miss her still.
