A Gentle Giant

Great Dane Antics in A College Apartment

Within the pages of Xine’s Pack of Strays & Others – A Memoir, lies a rich tapestry woven from the threads of canine companionship, where each chapter tells a unique story of love, laughter, and the transformative power of four-legged friends. Among the myriad of tales, one shines brightly – the story of Alex, the Great Dane who graced the halls of Boston University and left an indelible impression on the hearts of those he encountered.

Though not my own dog, Alex’s presence looms large, offering valuable lessons and shaping my journey toward building my own pack of nine beloved canines. Join me as we embark on a journey through the pages of my memoir, where the bonds of friendship between humans and animals are celebrated, and the joy of companionship knows no bounds.

Welcome to a world where every dog has a story to tell, and the love of a pack becomes a guiding light through life’s adventures. Let the tales unfold.

The following is a chapter from my book, Xine’s Pack of Strays & Others — A Memoir.
