Punta Gorda Pup -- Leonberger at Farmer's Market

Looks like a Lion right?  Well there is a reason. The Leonberger is a giant dog breed that derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The  Leonberger according to legend was  bred as a 'symbolic dog' that would mimic the lion in the town's crest. (Source: Wikopedia)  And she is a pup less than a year old.
