Pet's Story or Bio
This is Manny and Zuzu. Manny is a Collie/Cocker Spaniel mix who is super soft, silly, and feisty. He enjoys long naps and alerting the neighborhood of potential dangers, such as delivery truck drivers and pesky squirrels. Zuzu is a Treeing Walker/American English Coonhound mix. She enjoys undivided attention, walking in a zigzag fashion, and stealing food right out of kids' hands.

This photo captures the first time Manny and Zuzu met, when she was just a pup. Now she is twice Manny's size! They are just like brother and sister, bickering over dog bones or the warm spot on the sofa, but they have always loved each other as much as the day they met.
