Herakles, a young, lovable German Shepherd and his Greta At a very young age, Herakles was handed over to Gut Aiderbichl by the Austrian Animal Rescue. He was overweight and unkempt, his owner had to go to the hospital and could no longer care for his dog. Herakles has a moderately lowered hip, and the hope remains that this condition will never affect his freedom of movement. He shares his current happy canine life at Gut Aiderbichl with dog Greta, an eight-year-old female who shows her young friend every ounce of patience.
