Because he was so majestic, he did attract a lot of attention, which he loved. He just wanted to be with people. Over his life, he participated a number of times in worship services, especially on Sundays that emphasized 'God as our Shepherd.' He assisted with children’s sermons and was completely trustworthy with children, and with everyone else because they were giving him attention.
Baruch was high-energy and was a great running companion. He loved car rides. As soon as the kitchen door to the garage opened, he would be out there waiting for the car door to open so he could jump in with the expectation of visiting someone.
Baruch was also a good guard dog who would sound a warning bark on seeing a stranger. He looked threatening! But that was just his greeting, and in a second his tail was swishing back and forth. Baruch was a blessing to many people throughout his life.
Baruch --blessing...the Hebrew blessing, Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha’Olam---Blessed are you o Lord our God, creator of the Universe. Because Baruch had this name when I adopted him, I was compelled to learn the Hebrew blessing, the first part of the Sheva Brachot.
