His Facebook page – ‘Meet Xander’ – states that the dog’s mission in life is to stop violence and that he will continue to comfort those old and young until he can no longer do so Rodney said: ‘I loved him – just his personality and everything ‘I was saying I’ll take this dog, he’s going to make a fantastic therapy dog.
