Zane was my brothers Great Dane. He was a sweetie of a dog who struggled from a inablitly to digest protien and arthritis in his hips and hind legs. He weighed only 90lbs - waaayyy under weight for a fellow who should have been 200lb. He was black with a white patch on his chest and toes, and had small brown eyes. I know, one is supposed to say "big brown eyes", but Zanes eyes weren't big.
For being such a big gangly fellow, he had an impressive knack for "rotent elimination". Squirrels, rabbits, mice and voles were not safe from his keen eye and quick paw. On the other hand, my brother didn't have to worry about the exploding rabbit population decimating his yard plants.
Zane had a plesant temperment and liked to receive a little lovin', but he wasn't an "attention hound" - that is his "sister" Maggie's place. He was curious, smart, and well-mannered. Unfortunately, Zane left us this week due to growing complications with his arthritis. He will be sadly missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Zane, he seemed like a great dog. It's always so hard to lose a member of your "pack". Please give your brother and his family my sympathies on their loss.
I'm sorry your brother lost Zane. It's hard to see our furkids suffer, but we miss them so much when they aren't here anymore.
Please tell your brother we are so sorry.
