How about a big give-me-paw for our longtime resident, Surfin' Murph. Murphy won his cruelty case and was officially handed over to SF Animal Care & Control last week. Bulldog Rescue swooped in to claim him and that is what we at GADAB call a happy ending. Murph, it's been a pleasure working with you. May you have an endless supply of red bandanas and snout scratches. For those interested, you can check out all of Murph's best pictures from the last year (yes a whole year).
I discovered this video below in my wanderings today on the Haute Dog site from Southern California. Though there's a bit of a bias toward bulldogs (take note, Murphy) they've got an interesting thing going as a group of dedicated to " help inspire a better understanding and appreciation of dogs, dispel damaging myths, encourage responsible ownership practices, and offer practical adoption and rescue opportunities." Best of all they do it with a sense of humor. Hope we can work together some day.
Make sure you watch with your sound on....
Water Water Everwhere...and a little drool, too
Murphy is a decidedly young-for-his age 12-year old English Bulldog who came to GADAB in early 2006 as part of a cruelty case. Murphy arrived at the shelter with his friend, Seymour, a 12-year old Yorkie and yes, they made quite a pair. Murphy has a touch of arthritis but that doesn't stop him from using our agility course (he loves the seesaw) or from breaking into short sprints when he's outside. Murphy's happiest when he wears his red bandana and people tell him he's handsome.
