Any other fun tidbits for his profile?

Odie truly is a gentle giant. For example, he lies down in grass and shows concern for baby birds that fall out of the nest too early. He is especially sweet to puppies and other baby animals.
He is rescue from Texas, and they said he would be a, "medium-sized dog." 165 lbs later, he is local celebrity, especially with the children in the neighborhood. He also sometimes volunteers at school and listens to students read.  He loves sticks, squeaky toys, peanut butter kongs. He is loving, loyal and has a goofy personality. In the summer, he loves going in the river, splashing in the kiddie pool, and sitting in the shade. Odie is a social butterfly and protective of the ones he loves.
Despite many medical conditions such as Wobblers Disease, 2 TPLO knee surgeries and hip dysplasia, he is overcoming pain, staying strong, and living his best life with continued physical therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy.
Odie has the best jowels that flop and puff out when he is dreaming about chasing deer, rabbits or cats.
