My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Our daughter adopted him from a shelter when he was 8mo, he is 9yrs. He loves to run outside and spends most of his day in the backyard if weather permits. He sleeps in a kennel but would love to sleep in your bed if you let him. He likes to cuddle and be in the same room with people. He does fine with other dogs and has been around a cat without incident. He seems to do well with children although he really hasn't spent much time around young children. Murphy barks if someone or something comes near the yard but rarely barks inside the house (he does bark at lightning). He needs some work on walking; he pulls and barks if he sees another dog. He's not aggressive but desperately wants to go and sniff the dog. Murphy is also a bit of a chicken, he cowers from ladders and vacuums, etc. He will "sing" if you play the piano or ask him repeatedly to "speak". Our daughter moved to Florida for employment and is living with a family and can't take him. We are unable to care for him.
