Conan from Georgia |
For the last three years, Conan O'Brien has lived with Cindy Romaniello at the rescue
centre she runs for Jack Russells in Atlanta, together with Pee Wee the Chihuahua
and a retired racing greyhound. Cindy rescued Conan when, after two owners,
he found himself in Afghan Rescue in Georgia. He is now a Canine Good Citizen
and visits a children's and a veterans' hospital, where they so look foward
to seeing the 'big grey dog'. |

He has a particular talent for breaking up fights among the Jacks. He gets in the
middle and grabs a scruff, and as soon as the 'grabbed' Jack releases his victim,
Conan flings him in the air. Cindy and her husband tried to hold him back initially,
but he insists on taking control and has saved her from many a bite.
It's as though he is programmed: Jack fight, grab scruff, fling dog, fight stops,
mom doesn't get bitten. He is Cindy's constant companion and guard dog, the greatest dog she ever had. |
If you ever feel like a break from wolfhounds, the website of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America is great fun, and well worth a visit! |
