Bronco the Boxer




Bronco is the little boxer who could.  He could find a new a home when his old owner left him out for days on end in the cold without food.  Bronco is the boxer who could beat cancer…twice.  Bronco is the boxer who could defend his family at all costs, yet be gentle enough to be trusted near a newborn.  Bronco is the boxer who jumps up off the ground at the sound of the leash, like a kangaroo. His family refers to him as the doggie Secret Service because he will follow each person to wherever they are going and quietly wait there until they are ready to leave, sometimes he will even anticipate where someone is going and clear the room for them first; sniffing each closet and door handle.  He will turn around with his tongue out to let them know the room is cleared and safe to enter.  Bronco had everything at home, but still needed something more.  He was looking for his doggie soul mate.  He found Gwinnie at a dog park and never looked back.

Gwinnie, The White Princess

Gwinnie was the white princess who wanted more.  She also had a fight with cancer and was rescued from a bad home.  Gwinnie originally came from Oklahoma where she was going to be put to sleep.  By the grace of god someone paid for her to get shipped out to Big Dog Rescue located in Penngrove, California from Oklahoma.  Sometimes dogs have a better adoption success rate in different areas.  She ended up in Marin County at Greenbrae Pet Hospital.  Gwinnie looked up at her Vet Tech with her sad and prodding eyes and fell in instantly in love with her.  The feeling was mutual because the Vet Tech took Gwinnie home that day.  Even though their bond was formed instantly the road ahead would still be very difficult for Gwinnie and her new owner.  She was diagnosed with malignant mammary cancer and had a very costly surgery followed by a painful recovery.  Then 6 months later another surgery had to be performed to get the rest of the cancer.

Thankfully she survived and today is angelic; mesmerizing people with her soulful gaze.  When her owner comes home Gwinnie gets so excited that she has to run out of the doggie door first to gain composure outside.  She then runs back in and up two flights of stairs to greet her owner with sweet kisses.  When she first met Bronco she thought he was a big bully and hid behind her owners legs.  She was slowly charmed by his strength and good looks; she also thought all his sneezing was endearing.  It wasn’t long until her heart belonged with him.

Getting Ready for the Ceremony!

Bronco gets cold paws at the last minute and needs a quick walk to relieve himself.

Wardrobe Malfunction

Bronco is in the doghouse with an unexpected wardrobe meltdown and makes mental note to have a chat with the Dog’s Wearhouse about the tux he rented from them.  Gwinnie tries to remain calm but her instinct is to jump off the alter and chase down a ball.

Oops! Bronco drops the ring!

Bronco drops the ring and tries to sniff for it.  Gwinnie looks away embarassed , but remembers the reason she fell in love with him was because he is a clumsy, buff boxer.
