Valleypets Even big dogs get second chances

Chili cook-off to help Valley Animal Partners

When owners disappear, rescuers step in to give energetic Alaskan Malamutes a new home BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

Bruno, a 170-pound Malamute, is not impressed with the newcomer. The wolflike dog strains at the end of his leash, growls, howls and stares the stranger down. If he hadn’t looked like a huge stuffed toy, it might have been completely intimidating. Intelligent brown eyes, enormous paws, and a dense fluffy coat all made Bruno seem more huggable than threatening,

At 170 pounds, Bruno seems to dwarf his owner, Jim Ross. Alaskan Malamutes seem like they might make good guard dogs, but their friendly nature is more that of a lap dog’s.
