Oscar is not an ordinary dog—he’s a true “Oscar” in the world of dogs, a stunning Bucovina Shepherd, one of Romania’s four prestigious breeds. A dog with a story, but unfortunately, his tale is far from a happy one.
Oscar is a canine beauty, a perfect specimen of his breed, but behind his watchful eyes and thick fur lies a drama that landed him in a shelter, far from his beloved owner. It all started simply: Oscar’s owner wanted to breed him with an equally distinguished female, also a Bucovina Shepherd. What followed, however, seems straight out of a dark comedy. In the midst of the romantic moment, Oscar’s owner had the unfortunate idea of getting between the two. Fatal mistake! The poor man tripped and fell right onto the canine couple, provoking a dramatic reaction from Oscar.
Confused and eager to protect his mate, Oscar reacted instinctively, biting his owner. In a few chaotic moments, the elderly owner found himself on the ground with serious injuries to his head, arms, and legs. Oscar didn’t immediately understand what had happened, but once he realized his owner was hurt, he returned to his usual gentle and friendly self. Sadly, it was already too late—the man ended up in the hospital.
Oscar, the misunderstood hero of the story, has shown no signs of aggression at the shelter. “He hasn’t given us any trouble at all; in fact, he’s an extremely playful dog. He loves being petted and wags his tail happily when he gets attention,” says Dinu Păncescu, administrator of the Stray Dog Management Service in Bacău. But, unfortunately, the owner’s family has refused to take Oscar back home.
Now, this noble Bucovina Shepherd is looking for a new owner—someone with not just experience handling large dogs but also the responsibility to understand the needs of such an animal. Oscar is an excellent guard dog—vigilant, active, and loyal. However, he’s also a dog with a big appetite. So, his new owner must be ready to invest not only time and affection but also financial resources.
The conclusion is simple: when you want a dog, especially one like Oscar, you need to be prepared, do your research, and understand the responsibilities involved. Oscar deserves a loving home, an owner who will appreciate him for his loyalty and nobility. Someone, somewhere, needs a reliable guard dog. And who knows, maybe that someone is the reader of this article.
