Here is Lewis, a Great Pyrenees, at 8 weeks old in June 2017, curling up for a nap with some work boots at Lori Pyatt’s Arnold home.
“He was just so tiny and played out,” she said. “He was looking for a place to rest. He’s all white, beautiful. He’s now about 100 pounds. He was probably 8 pounds in the picture.”
Lewis, now almost 2, keeps an eye out for trouble from the family’s yard.
“He’s quite the protector,” Pyatt said. “Pyrenees dogs watch livestock. He patrols our yard.”
Lewis is an intelligent, active pet, she added.
“He’s extremely smart,” Pyatt said. “He remembers things. He can be pretty stubborn, but he’s a fun-loving dog. He’s friendly and sweet. He loves to play catch. He loves squeaky toys. He’s part of our family.”
Pyatt said her family lost a pet at the end of last year and Lewis took it hard.
“We had a Maltese named Harry – he died in December,” she said. “Lewis misses him.”
