Strider , the name taken from the Tolkien ’ s Lord of the Rings trilogy , was a man of truly honorable character who would later become King .
This issue ’ s centerfold dog , Strider , the dog I received as pup for a twelfth birthday present from my father , was also a dog of character , solid in temperament , smart , and as athletic as they come . He will always be linked with my dad as one to remember .
Strider was the first , and only , APBT we had as a house dog when we all were children ; he was instantly a house favorite . Oh , the stories I could tell that would have brought instant condemnation from my parents and long talks about responsibility of actions .
Little sister brought it all to a halt when she told Dad that during our walks through the neighborhood Strider " just can ’ t hold his temper ." Needless to say , the walks with us kids and Strider came to an instant halt . He was confined to an outside pen as there was no way to contain him in the house with eight kids coming and going . From that day forward , as they say , " the rest is history ." I have held the leash of many really good and even great dogs . However ,
Strider is one that makes me smile when I think back to my early years .
