ABOUT THE DOG:
Optimus and Gigi both came from a reputable breeder in Belton, Texas. Their mother had been a Westminster prize winner, but floppy-eared Optimus didn't inherit her good manners. When prospective owners John and Maria Hiney came to view the pups, Optimus bit John on the leg. Since then, Optimus has bitten several of their friends and neighbors.

ABOUT THE OWNERS:
The Hineys have been together for more than 30 years! John has had pet Great Danes since he was very young.
