Uncle is my 19th foster dog in Korea and funnily enough, he wins almost all the superlative awards:
*loveliest (yes, my favorite)
*most affectionate
*most timid
*most surprising (timid, yet playful Laughing )
and.......
*most conventionally unattractive.

The thing is - Uncle is called Uncle for a reason. He came from the Daejon shelter a few months ago and was being fostered together by a lovely American woman named Minh. Anyway, he was fostered with another dog called 'Granddad' - both named this way because they do in fact look like old-man dogs, although they are actually quite young. Uncle is about 4 years old but still gangly and think enough to sometimes be mistaken for a young dog (until you see his teeth that is lol). Yes, maybe you can see in the pics, his teeth are crooked, but I think that this only adds to his charm. Of course, whatever he lacks in looks he MORE than makes up for in personality. He is just one of the the sweetest dogs I've ever met and doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He's always happy to see me when I come home and is waiting by the door every time to greet me with tail wagging. And the funny thing is - all his little eccentricities and quirky appearance just seem to make him even cuter than conventionally cute dogs.

He has also come a long way: when I first took him in he was too scared to walk and had to be carried then put down and pulled a little, then carried again. Now he is still timid at first, but after a very short time is wagging his tail and trotting along with my dog. He also does the cutest thing I've seen any dog do - when I call his name (in any pitch) he open his eyes really wide and tilts his head each way, continuously (see first pic). Makes me laugh. I don't know what else to say other than he's just the loveliest dog I've met in a long time and I am determined to find him a really, really loving home. Its quite important to me, because I'm not actually willing to give him up (I come from New Zealand and it is VERY difficult to get dogs home). Uncle has clearly been abused in the past and he really deserves a peaceful, loving environment. Anyway, if you're interested in a real dog and not some pretty-but-airheaded pedigree handbag-dog, then pm me Smile
