India: Goa : Resident Dogs : Giant

Name: Giant
Gender: Male
Colour: Black with tan markings
Age: Not young and not old but just right


Funny characteristic: He follows Manoj (kennel boy) around everywhere completely unencouraged.


GiantGiant is another one of the centre dogs who liked his stay so much he decided to come back after he was released. He is a true gentle giant - hence his name - and always keeps himself to himself. He is bit of a loner and apart from occasionally having to fend of Twinkle’s advances he doesn’t really socialise with any of the other dogs. The rest of the gang at the centre accepted him straight away without fuss probably because they all realised that he is twice the size of most of them. Not even Tina has expressed her opinion about having someone bigger than her on the block. His age and dignity also earned him their respect no doubt. The only time one may get a taste of Giant’s bad temper is when the bones have been handed out. Walk anywhere within a 5 feet radius and he will let you know what he thinks of that!
