Liam was Willem Berfelo and Marion Majoie's first wolfhound, and in a very short time he transformed their lives.
He is a very intelligent and rather headstrong boy - but for a piece of cheese he will do anything, even a pirouette.
He knows the instructions 'right', 'left' or 'straight on' when walking, but follows these in a rather arbitrary fashion.
To make sure you stay at home in the evening he will lie down on your feet, snoring, pretending to be asleep so you will not move.
And in the morning he will look at you with a wearied expression: "I have seen you before, somewhere . . . let me think . . . ahh, now I know: when I stay here you will come over, pet me and give me a piece of sausage . . . " Then he will roll over, lying upside down all over the floor waiting for a cuddle.
He looked after Willem when he retired, structured his day, and in fact saved his life . . .
