This is the most courageous pup I have ever met. I have known him since my friends (his owners) first got him. When he unexpectedly started having trouble with his leg, he didn’t let it change his ability to run and play and his expression of love and affection to all of his family and friends stayed the same. And even as things progressed and when it was apparent that he was in pain, he remained all that he had been. After his diagnosis, surgery and during his recovery I was brought to tears watching his demonstration of sheer strength, loyalty and love for his family. He certainly is a most deserving candidate of Dog of the Year!!!
