This is my dog, Mal(Malcom Reynolds). He is an Alaskan Malamute that I found through a rescue organization where I live. He's a great dog. Very intelligent, loves to play and has taken to swimming this past summer. He's a great dog and I love having him around. It hasn't been quite a year just yet, but he is also acclimating to my family as well. My younger sister has a toy poodle and it's quite hilarious to see the two of them side by side or playing.
