When my new Grandson Merrick came home, my Daughter's dachshund Lincoln decided that he was the greatest present that anyone had ever brought him! He guards Merrick, 24 / 7; and is always at his side. They will be partners in crime , I am sure!
In this picture, he had been watching him sleep for a couple of hours already. When Merrick wakes up, he runs and finds Momma, or Daddy to come and help.
