The compassion that dogs can have for each other is just so amazing.

I really wish I could take them in.

If I didn’t already have 5 dogs and 4 cats I would certainly take them in.

I’m sure they’ll find a home.

Four GREAT pics at the link!

Can’t imagine why.

I’ve owned 2 great dames at once and would take both in a heartbeat but getting them to the states would not be easy and not to mention expensive.

Those are really pretty puppies, I hope they find a new home soon.

Btw, your tagline is excellent and very true.

Aren’t they beautiful! Danes are wonderful dogs. I hope that someone kind adopts them.
