Zodd: "Ok Zima, so here's the catch. Swedish people love us czechs, but they also love cameras and that's especially true when it comes to my mum. Just love the camera back and everyone will be pleased."
Zima: "Ok, uncle Zodd, but there's one thing I want to tell you - Your mum may love the camera, but the camera loves ME!"

Zodd x Ganzi

There are friends, good friends and then there is Ganzi who's probably Zodd's best friend. They have so much fun together and just love each other! Zodd is Ganzi's uncle and they both come from Sundari kennel in Czech Republic. Ganzi is one year younger than Zodd.

Zodd: "Hey, Ganzi. There's that camera again. We must really look good!"

Gokarmo: "That's so kind of you, but for now - LET'S PLAY!!!"

Zodd x Bamse

Love come in all sizes and shapes and you can find it where you least expect it. Zodd was surprised to find himself being the small one when he met Bamse, the Irish Wolfhound. Bamse is a friendly giant with a heart of gold and he took Zodd's wild love exclamation in stride. Soon the two boys had fun together and it was wonderful to watch the two, same in age, get along so well.

Zodd: "Haha, this is so much fun, Bamse! Can you even understand how long it was since I last met a playmate in XL size? You are AWESOME!"
Bamse: "Yeah, but I would say I'm more like XXL and you are XL, no?"
Zodd: "Thanks man! You're like the coolest guy ever!"
Bamse: "Hey, we big boys have to stick together, no matter what."
Zodd: "WORD!"

Zodd x Swea

A gentle kiss from one Mastiff to another. This is Zodd's new friend Swea. She's a Mastiff (formerly known as English Mastiff), born and raised at Gramses kennel here in Sweden. A very sweet girl!

Zodd: "A kiss for you, my distant cousin."
Swea: "Are we related, uncle Zodd?"
Zodd: "Well, some experts claim that the Tibetan Mastiff had something to do with the birth of all molosserdogs, so I guess you could say we are related."
Swea: "Waaa! That's soooooo cool!"

Zodd x Texas

This is not only Zodd's friend, this is his NUMBER ONE fan! Texas, the Rottweiler is in love with Zodd, and has been since the first time he saw him. He's not only in love, he's obsessed with him, he stalks him and can't keep his paws away, always kissing him.

Texas: "Hey lady with the camera, can't you see we are like totally busy here? Buzz off! I'm like giving tribute to my man Zodd."

Bonnie: "Oh, ok. I can do that."

Zodd x Sixten

Sixten, the Cairnterrier, thinks of himself as the biggest, strongest and coolest dog in the universe. Zodd finds it all very amusing and lets him get away with that because he knows who is king without trying to prove anything to anyone.

Zodd: "AND you have a sense of humor!"
Sixten: "What? What do you mean? And why are you talking back?! You are my SLAVE!"
Zodd: "Yeah, about that..."

Enya is a timid Bichon frisé that came to visit us one day. She was very shy, but Zodd did the best he could to make her feel at home.

Enya: "So, Zodd. What's that thing over there? Looks weird, no?"
Zodd: "Nah, that's just my mummy and her camera. Just ignore her and she will go away. It always works for me."
Enya: "Thanks, I'll do that. She's scary..."

Zodd x Gramse

Gramse is a German Shepherd and he's FULL of energy and could go all day long. Zodd thinks he's quite amusing for a while, but then he tries to block him. Not that it works since Gramse is determined to get Zodd's attention, no matter what.

Gramse: "HAHA! I took your stick, now you HAVE to chase me! HAHAHAHA!"
Zodd: "Annoying youngster. Wait 'til I get ya, then you won't laugh anymore..."
Gramse: "As if you'll ever catch me! HAHA!"

Zodd: "Hi! All is well, I hope?"

Zodd x Jens

Jens is a Stabyhoun that Zodd got to know during our trip to Denmark in november 2009. We stayed at a farm and Jens was the farmdog. An old and wise boy with a big heart and a wagging tail, eager to show his new friend Zodd around the property.

Jens: "So, I've given ya the grand tour, how do ya like my place? I personally think it's one Tibetan Mastiff short."

Zodd x Äbbe

The first time these two met it was love! The second time it was less love from Äbbe (Flatcoated Retriever), but they still got along very well.

Zodd x the sheep

In a pasture not far from our home there's a pack of wonderful sheep. Zodd's made friends with the bunch and we visit them from time to time. Their curious study of Zodd was a bit much for him at their first meeting but now they get along great.

Zodd:"OMG! They're staring at me!...HELP!"
Sheep:"Why, aren't you a strangelooking fella... Did they cut your horns off?"
