A long-time friend of the sanctuary, Cassie B., sent us this photo yesterday of blind Bindi, who she adopted from us a couple of years ago. (Bindi was named Nevada here at the ranch.) Bindi is standing under her new boyfriend, Dirk, who Cassie recently adopted.
Cassie had written us earlier about Dirk, saying "He is just the best boy, and Bindi is in LOVE with him! She has found a new wrestling partner, and he is so gentle with her. It’s really very sweet."
In her latest email with the photo, Cassie wrote, "They are such good buds, and Dirk just lets Bindi boss him around all day long!"

That's a great dane for you.....extremely gentle! Speaking of, how about an update on Blanca? We adopted a deaf dane great dane last November and she's a handful but also so sweet. My daughter's basset puppy is in love with the danes!

Wow....I'd be hanging out with Dirk too. What great markings; he is beautiful!
And Bindi is all grown up; obviously very smart and makes good decisions. Look who his friends are!
Thanks for the update Cassie; it was a treat to see Bindi and congrats on your new doggie addition.

What a sweet picture! We all need to have a protector every now & then. GD's definitely are gentle giants! My neighbors have a GD & a chihuahua. It is the most hilarious twosome but they are the best of buds. The funniest sight of all & can make you double over laughing is watching the chihuahua chase the GD.

Bindi, what a tall handsome boyfriend you have!

I wish Bindi could see herself to see how cute she is - but I have a feeling she knows anyway! - and I think that handsome dude Dirk does too. Love this adorable photo!

Oh my! I was so smitten with Nevada, as she looks SO much like my Annie Bear. Such a wonderful home. Bindi, you have come SO far. Thrilled for you all. Thanks for making my day.

Bindi/Nevada has found a gorgeous boyfriend for herself... Good for her!:-)
They certainly make an odd but adorable couple.
Thank you so much for posting such sweet updates on the RDR alumni.

A picture says a thousand words. I have a picture of "Nevada" when I visited the ranch for my 50th birthday! It's good to see her grown up and with such a handsome boyfriend!

Thank you for posting these wonderful "after action" reports. I love hearing how the RDR Alumni are doing.
My single experience with Great Danes revealed a gentle nature also. When my little mini schnauzer was a puppy she played with an adult GD. Although his head was bigger than her whole body, he was exceedingly gentle with her and seemed to delight in her playfulness.
