Your story was so funny I sent this link to my non dane owner friend but who loves Modoc.
Thhis was her response. thought it was funny;
It's nice to know my big white horse ended up reincarnating into a Great Dane and is living with a loving family in Australia. Dan used to plunge his head into the water tank, up to his eyeballs, and eat the mosquito fish. Disgusting, but entertaining.
