Story Of Gorilla Dogs


GorillaDog's founder, Joanne, has always loved Gorillas like she loves dogs. Gorillas are a badly misunderstood creature -- they are peaceful creatures whose only enemy is man. Because of the actions of gorillas protecting their families, mankind has developed lore of the ferociousness of gorillas.

Joanne has many small dogs that she has rescued. These small dogs loved to look out the picture window of her home in Austin, TX. When large dogs would walk past Joanne's house in Austin, sometimes they'd bark at the little dogs looking out her picture window. The small dogs sometimes were intimidated by the larger dogs.

One day, Joanne happened upon a large Gorilla statue and put it in her front yard. An amazing thing happened then - the smaller dogs were "empowered" by the large, formitable-looking statue. They were no longer intimidated by larger dogs walking past her house! The statue was of a peaceful, harmless creature, but it was protecting the small dogs with its size and power.
