Well I would recommend dogs in distress to anyone thinking of getting a dog, when we got Molly we got a very special dog, she is so gentle and has a lovely temperment. Everyone loves her. Our little boy was 3 when we got her and she is great with him, also my neice got a dog called Penny about a year ago from D.I.D and what can I say another little dote, so good luck in getting a dog from D.I.D
