This is a picture of Brutus.

He had a variety of medical conditions that were treated at the McDowell County Humane Society Shelter.  The staff at the vet's office originally thought he may not survive because of his condition.

After approximately two months at the McDowell County Humane Society Shelter, he was sent to a rescue in Pennsylvania where he was adopted by a police officer.

He is to undergo training as a search and rescue dog.

He was approximately 50 pounds in this picture, but he is expected to possibly reach 150 pounds when fully grown.
