Heheh, that is adorable.

Probably thinks you can't take care of yourself when super pupper isn't around. It's like when a grandma force feeds you when you go to visit.

German shepherds love to carry random stuff, I know one that brings huge rocks inside the house.

My family always had German shepherds growing up. One of them that we had when I was a little kid used to bring big rocks in the house all the time. She chewed on them like bones. I don't know how she still had teeth when she got old.

Adorable! My Luna Bear does this. Usually a toy, but sometimes a sock or bottle. We think she is part Golden Lab and part German Shepherd

Same with my Molly. Border collie/beagle mix, when she spots anyone come inside she runs to grab either a toy or a shoe and growls while dancing around.

I love it. If you don't pay immediate attention to Luna she will start talking. I can't even describe the noises she makes

Will this gift be the one that convinces you not to leave me next time? Are the gifts not good enough or am I not good enough for you?

If mine brings you one of her toys she wants food. My wife calls them trading tokens when she does that.
