MURPHY"**CONTACT KAT katlvsdogs@gmail.com*** MURPHY--OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN"--LOVING--LOYAL--A TREASURE!!! MURPHY'S STORY*** WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL OF MURPHY'S STORY, WHERE MURPHY THE REGAL, 2-3 YEAR OLD, 65 POUND, GENTLE, YELLOW LABRADOR MIX PUP SPENT THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF HIS LIFE. WHEN MURPHY WAS LOST WHERE WAS HIS FAMILY?? WHY WAS THERE NO ONE FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR THEIR FAMILY MEMBER?? WHY WERE THERE NO FLIERS POSTED, VETS CALLED, NEWSPAPER ADS PLACED, URGENT CALLS TO THE LOCAL SHELTER??? FOR IF MURPHY'S FAMILY WOULD HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL SHELTER THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND MURPHY. THIS GENTLE PUP WAS INDEED IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH KILL SHELTER. HE WAS IN A VERY SCARY, A DANGEROUS SITUATION, A PLACE HE DID NOT BELONG!!! THE CALL TO US WAS URGENT, THE SITUATION WAS URGENT!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A KIND AND CARING SHELTER WORKER TELLING US THAT MURPHY WAS THERE AND PLEADING FOR OUR HELP. SHE TOLD US THAT MURPHY HAD ON A BEAUTIFUL COLLAR BUT NO TAG WAS ON IT AND NO MICROCHIP WAS FOUND. "HE IS SOMEONES DOG" SHE TOLD US. "HE KNOWS ALL OF HIS COMMANDS, SIT, STAY, HE IS SOOOO WELL BEHAVED AND LOVING, PLEASE HELP HIM". SHE TOLD US MURPHY WAS TERRIFIED, CONFUSED, UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS BUT MOST OF ALL WHY??? SHE SAID THAT MURPHY JUST LAID IN THE CORNER OF HIS CAGE, EYES CLOSED, TREMBLING WITH FEAR. WE COULDN'T GET TO MURPHY FAST ENOUGH AND WHEN WE REACHED DOWN AND GAVE HIM A PAT, SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL BIG HEAD, LAID IT IN OUR HANDS AS IF HE WAS ASKING US TO HELP HIM!!!! MURPHY LEFT THE SHELTER THAT DAY, TAIL WAGGING, EYES TWINKLING AND A FACE THAT TRULY SEEMED TO SMILE. FATE GAVE US MURPHY, A TRUE TREASURE. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BEEN SEEN IN THE FACE AND EYES AND THIS IS SO TRUE WITH MURPHY. HIS GORGEOUS, GENTLE FACE DOES TELL A STORY, A STORY OF A TRUE COMPANION PUP WHO HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY--THE FAMILY WHO NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO COME LOOKING FOR HIM--HE WAS BETRAYED. IN SPITE OF THIS MURPHY IS A HAPPY LOVING PUP AND HIS FACE TRULY DOES SEEM TO SAY "I LOVE YOU". MURPHY IS AS LOVING A GUY AS YOU WILL EVER MEET BUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT MURPHY IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE IS A PUP WHO LOVES DEEPLY AND FOREVER. ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS DISLOYALTY FROM HIS FAMILY, DESPITE THIS TRAGEDY AND WHAT COULD HAVE ENDED MURPHY'S LIFE HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. OUR "GENTLEMAN" NEVER MEETS A STRANGER AND WILL GREET YOU WITH A GENTLE EASY EXPRESSION, GIVING YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M MURPHY, NICE TO MEET YOU".

WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH MURPHY HE IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION, JUST AS LONG AS HE IS WITH YOU HE'S HAPPY. HE WOULD BE A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY, MURPHY WILL "PRANCE" ALONG, HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING SNIFFING ALL THE SCENTS ALONG THE WAY. MURPHY IN MOTION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH, HE HAS A SMOOTH FLOWING GRACEFUL GAIT, IN FACT MURPHY SEEMS TO "PRANCE" AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE IT'S AS IF HE IS FLOATING THROUGH AIR. IF YOUR DAY CALLED FOR A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS MURPHY WOULD BE THRILLED TO TAG ALONG, HE ADORES CAR RIDES. JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND IN MURPHY WILL HOP.
