What's up dog?
Lightning truly lives up to her name. Nicknamed Light she truly is the kindest soft dog. She is soft, gentle, and brings joy and laughter to those around her. She knows how to behave around children, adults and the elderly. Light loves to sit with you and will look at you like you're best thing since sliced ham! If she had the choice, she would be stuck to you like glue and give you kisses all day! Light is able to literally 'Light' up the room simply being there. She is an absolute treasure and is the definition of a best friend!
