His name is Finn McCool and he is extremely handsome!!!

I have got to organize my photos so I can post some pictures....
Finn is another Border Collie, right around Pandas age.... another rescue that used to be "reactive" to other dogs....

We met at the local state park, started talking and have been walking together ever since about twice a week.

When we met, Finn was laying down while his owner was talking to someone.... As we joined there was no barking or negative interaction, so I asked Finns mom if she would mind if we walked with them....

We have been walking and playing ever since....

For our first 3 hikes Panda stayed on the leash, but then I started letting her off for brief periods. First playing in the water, which they both love!!! Now they can even play in the field with their own balls!!!!
When Finn accidentally ran into Panda a few days ago, she literally didn't even react! This was huge!!!!!!

The other day, when we initially met at the park.... Panda didn't pass Finn to meet his owner first (as she had been), but touched noses with Finn and then went to meet the human!!!!

Finn did get attacked by another dog a couple of weeks ago. Although there was no injury.... Finn has regressed a little bit and Panda seems to be a little more reactive towards him having interactions with other dogs....
Finn is one of those super-cool old canine-souls . We are so lucky to have met him.... his mom is pretty cool, too!
She did find the perfect description for Panda.... "She is a pushy broad..."
