He came to us in absolute misery, in excruciating pain, covered in that terrible skin condition—and even then, when he had every reason in the world to distrust people, he trusted my hands. He never growled at me. Never tried to hurt me. I cared for him through the worst of it, and now look at him. ❤️
Duke doesn’t need to know the whole philosophy behind rescue. He just knows that when he was hurting, we showed up.
And now he’s apparently appointed himself head of security.

The American Kennel Club and the Mastiff Club of America both describe them as calm, gentle, and deeply devoted. Protective without being aggressive, with a strong sense of loyalty and patience. Which fits Duke’s story beautifully.
