Denise Doorlag says:
“Zeus is an awesome dog.”
“The only downside is that everything costs more; the food, medicines, transport. We had to get a van to be able to transport him, oh, and if he steps on your foot – he leaves bruises!”
“The most common thing people ask is: ‘Is that a dog or a horse?’ and ‘Where’s his saddle?’
