I figured I would update this thread with some recent pictures of the "puppy".
As of his last visit to the vet, Dante is now pushing the 100 pound mark at 7 months of age.

He is such a loving dog, who just enjoys the company of people. He has successfully scared one pizza delivery guy (little did he know that his back end was wagging with excitement

), but as soon as he gets the ok from me, he's a big lovable goofball.
