Toby become part of our family in August of 2020.  At first a bit anxious, he quickly became attached to us, and of course my husband and I to him.

One of his favorite things to do is lie on his back until one of us comes to give him a belly rub.  It is so rewarding to see the joy in his face when we get on the floor and play with him.  Toby is a total love muffin.  Despite weighing 50 pounds, he thinks he’s a lap dog. He loves to cuddle and give kisses.

Even though he came from Puerto Rico, which has a warm climate, he enjoys running and playing in the snow. Toby has come a long way, and we look forward to having him with us for many more years.

Carol,

Toby’s Forever Mom
