We have had one in the family for over 40 years. We lost our last one 2 years ago. We now have an English Bulldog because they simply move slower! lol Boxers are just big goofballs that are endlessly amusing and loving creatures. And the very best with kids!
Long story in short form...our last boxer, Skylar, was already fairly old when I took in my "bonus" child (homeless great nephew) who was an emotionally and physically abused 14 yr. old. Sky always slept on her bed in our room. When my nephew came into our home, Skylar dragged her bed across the house and placed it outside nephew's room to guard him. From that point on, she guarded that child until he turned 18. She passed not long after that. She's the one who landed on our bed.
