Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DOC***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com DOC---"THE ULTIMATE COMPANION"--GENTLE--CALM-- SOOOOO LOVING--GORGEOUS" DOC IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 3 YEAR OLD, PUREBRED CHOCOLATE LABRADOR RETRIEVER. WHEN YOU FIRST SEE DOC HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HIS FACE HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL, A WARM DARK HONEY COLOR AND SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN DOC FIRST SEES YOU. HE HAS THE SWEETEST FACE WITH A GENTLE, KIND, "I LOVE YOU" EXPRESSION, IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. HE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT GUY WITH A GRACEFUL FLOWING BODY, CHEST DEEP, WITH A REGAL, DIGNIFIED, STANCE. NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL PUP JUST WAIT TIL YOU MEET HIM YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A TON MORE TO DOC THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE.(ALTHOUGH HIS FACE TRULY IS PRETTY) HE IS THE ULTIMATE "COMPANION", DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, BEYOND GENTLE AND EXTREMELY LOVING. TRUE TO THE LABRADOR BREED, HE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, TRAITS THAT HAVE ENDEARED THE LAB TO FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS. HE IS WHAT WE CALL A "SOFT" DOG, A "CUDDLER", A TRUE GENTLEMAN. HE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET, LOOKING AT YOU WITH THOSE DREAMY EYES ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE. HE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN, HUGS, LOVE AND ATTENTION. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. HE IS ALSO OUR "AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL" AND ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS. THIS GENTLE, EASY GOING, PUP IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME GREETING EVERYONE HE MEETS WITH A TAIL WAG AND SPARKLING EYES. DOC IS A PUP THAT YOU COULD TAKE ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, JUST GET USE TO BEING STARED AT WHEN FOLKS SEE HIM HE IS A SHOW STOPPER!!. HE IS A BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED GUY WAY PAST THE ANTICS OF A PUPPY. HE WOULD ADORE AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, DOC IS IN GREAT SHAPE, HE IS FLAWLESS ON LEAD HE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, DOC WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, WHEN IT'S WARMER SWIMMING IN ANY WATER HE COULD FIND, ENJOYING NATURE, ENJOYING LIFE. THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AFTER SPENDING JUST A SHORT TIME WITH DOC TO REALIZE THIS PUP IS SMART!!!!! HE IS PART OF OUR "PRISON TRAINING PROGRAM"(SEE BELOW) HE IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS INCREDIBLY FAST, TRAINED AND FINDS ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO EXCITING AND A CHALLENGE. HE KNOWS MANY COMMANDS AND PERFORMS THEM FLAWLESSLY WHEN ASKED, HE IS A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN PLEASING THOSE HE LOVES AND THIS MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH DOC. AT DAY'S END AFTER DOC HAS SPENT THE DAY TAKING A LONG WALK, RUNNING ERRANDS WITH YOU, WHEN HE COMES INTO HIS HOME AND YOU SETTLE IN YOU WILL FIND DOC CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING CONTENT AND HAPPY, HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY AND TO DOC IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW ALSO HAS BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, HOUSE TRAINED AND CRATE TRAINED, HE IS RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HIS TO PLAY WITH AND THINGS NOT TO TOUCH, HE IS A JOY. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH DOC WE FEEL THAT HE WOULD BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE LIFE OF A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE, OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE ULTIMATE "COMPANION" AND NEW BEST FRIEND. IN FACT OUR DIRECTOR MADE THE COMMENT "THIS IS THE PERFECT DOG"!!!! WE HAVE LEARNED THIS GORGEOUS GUY WITH HIS "I LOVE YOU" EXPRESSION IS A TREASURE AND WILL SHOWER HIS FAMILY WITH TAIL WAGS, KISSES, AND TONS OF LOVE EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF THEIR LIFE. HE IS A PUP THAT IS FAITHFUL, LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. DOC JUST WANTS TO KNOW THAT WHEN HE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT ON HIS BIG FLUFFY BED THAT THE LAST THING HE WILL HEAR SPOKEN TO HIM IS "DOC WE LOVE YOU" AND HE WILL LEFT HIS GORGEOUS "BLOCK" HEAD, BLINK THOSE DREAMY EYES, WAG HIS OTTER TAIL AND YOU CAN BET THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" AND HE WILL DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP CONTENT AND HAPPY, HIS WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS FAMILY AND IS LOVED.
