You'd probably never know to look at him that Albert is almost 17 years old. It's for sure you wouldn't believe it to see him running around with Ms. Sophia Loren. When his sister from whom he had never been separated in his whole life, passed away, we thought we would probably lose Albert, too. He fooled us, though and soon became accustomed to being an only dog. Then he had to learn all over to be a dog with a friend when Sophia came to live with us. He again rose to the occassion and took Ms. Sophia under his wing. He has taught her most of the tricks he knows, even the part about standing for hours exercizing her lungs by barking at the wind. Her adoption is complete and she is now Ms. Sophia Loren-Barkley.
