What's up dog?
Murphy is an incredible dog, i run a doggy daycare in my home and without him i would struggle. Hes always keeping an eye on his pack, when we are out adventuring or simply at home playing. He will stand for ages gently holding a rope so a small dog can play or stand silently to interupt any over excitement. He Lives every human and is always the last to accept a treat. Hes amazing and next year hopes to get on the therapy dog program. He is calm around both human and dogs, he is always there when you need support. Hes calm and gentle and is always keen to make someone smile. the perfect stress relief x
