I didn't believe it until I saw them together and they did have such a bond. lexi didn't bond with her other danes like that...in no way, shape, or form. she was very independent and this is what prompted her to have a play date with the new male...because she knew the other dogs would be fine but was worried about how lexi would act. so, with that being said, i believe they do have a bond. but that is just my opinion

What a great story!!!
