First, Pilot is not a Rottweiler! He is a smallish-medium 38-pound, 2-3 years old, neutered male. But yes, he has those handsome markings. Pilot is in full time foster and is fully housetrained, crate trained and a great house dog. He lives with two resident dogs and loves to play with them.

Pilot walks easily on a leash with his “pack.” He loves car rides too.
