How I did it: My good friends adopted a puppy who I met and adored, there happened to be 3 more from the same litter  so I decided to visit them.  I went out to a farm in the middle of Oregon and met the dogs.  Two of them jumped all over me, and the third didn't bother waking up from his nap to come meet me... he was just snoozing in the sun, belly up.  So I called him over and he came, sat, let me pet him, with this droopy stoned sort of expression... that's when I knew he would be the perfect dog-- mellow.  I took him to the vet to get checked out, all was good, flew him up to Alaska with me.  He's most definitely the perfect dog.  Loved by everyone and in love with food.

Lessons & tips: Find a dog that compliments your energy.  Dogs need lots of exercise.  Train  your dog.
