Butkis’ owner put a free ad in the paper. Never give a dog away free in the paper, it is little more than a death sentence that gives thieves with little morals the way to make a quick buck on the life of mans best friend. Fortunately, another rescuer emailed the ad and Gentle Giants Rescued Butkis. He is a giant big baby of a lover who is grateful for being rescued and- like all rescue dogs- returns the love a million times over everyday that the world is lucky enough to share with him! And at 269 pounds, Butkis has tons of love to give and share! And when he sits in your lap, few people are able to get up.
