Oh hey there! I’m a very good dog! At least that’s what everyone keeps telling me. My name? Well, you can call me anything, really, as long as you’ve got treats. Speaking of which… treats are my favorite thing in the world. Crunchy, chewy, bacon-flavored, peanut butter. You name it, I’ll eat it. I’m pretty smart too, if I say so myself. I know how to sit (that one’s easy), I can shake paws like a pro, and when you say down, I flop right onto the floor like I’ve been doing it all my life. Especially if you’ve got that little biscuit in your hand. But you know what I love even more than treats? Walks. The moment I hear that jingle of the leash, my tail goes wild. There’s nothing like sniffing every tree, every hydrant, every mysterious patch of grass. So many smells! So many squirrels to almost catch! I’m basically living my best life: eat treats, do tricks, go for walks, get belly rubs, repeat. Who wouldn’t love being me?
