eating treats
playing with toys
loving his Mommy
spoiled
Henry | Top Dog
Henry does not work, but he is so incredibly cute that he can basically do and get away with anything he wants—just look at him! Although born in 2011, Henry looks like a permanent puppy. Despite his desire to cuddle and be around people every waking hour, when the scent of food enters the room, his dark passenger often emerges.
Lyja is…
cuddling
smiling
getting belly rubs
groaning
stick chewing
Lyja | Pitty
Lyja brings a wealth of experience chasing squirrels around the neighborhood, sleeping and ignoring everyone’s personal space. In a previous role and as a puppy, Lyja spent time in a city shelter dreaming and masterminding a plan of seducing the perfect human victim. It didn’t take long. While her humble beginnings have taught Lyja to greatly appreciate her relationships and at times proceed cautiously, she is now living the Pit Bull dream and has access to more tennis balls than she knows what to do with.
