          He’s 
          white with big brown patches, and he has these fabulous blue eyes that 
          draw attention everywhere he goes.  He walks with confidence, and 
          gallops with power.  He plays, and barks, and wags his tail.
          
          
           
          
           
          
          
          
           
          
           
          
          There 
          was a time when he was a shadow of the Great Dane he is today.  
          
          
          The 
          SPCA of Western Quebec rescued him.  They fed him with both food and 
          love.  They started the process of giving him back his canine life.
          
           
          
          
           
          
          
          
          
           
          
          In May 
          2009 we took over.
          
          We 
          feed and groom him.  We walk and play with him.  
          We teach him right from wrong.  We hug and kiss him. 
          
          Most 
          importantly ... we love him.
          
          Lance 
          has a home, and he is becoming the Great Dane he was meant to be.
           
          
           
          
          
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
          
          
Update 
          April ’10 … 
          
          
          Lance is doing very well.  Currently, he is stretched out on the couch 
          for his afternoon nap.  Who am I kidding.....it's his all day 
          nap.....and being on the couch is nothing special either.  He's come a 
          long way in the past year.
          
          He is now just over 100 lbs.  He has managed to re-design two door 
          frames.  He has chewed through countless blankets.  And he has 
          destroyed a number for "big chewer" dog toys.  Oh well, he is Lance 
          and we love him to bits.
          
          
          
          
          
          
           
          
          
          He and Molly have formed quite a bond.  She knows that she can outrun 
          him in the park so she likes to play keep-away games with him.  
          Interestingly enough, this spring he has demonstrated strength and 
          stamina that is keeping Molly on her toes.
          
          Thank you again for rescuing him.  Today it is hard to believe where 
          he came from....and that is a good thing.  He is an amazing dog.  He 
          has a gentle, goofy nature that makes many people smile......starting 
          with Kathi and I!
