My story

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

7/20/25 Frank's RAD Report Card - Today I got to go on a very fun car ride to Brady's Distillery, and then a walk at Mill Mountain! I without a doubt love the outdoors and my hikes, as we went 2 miles today. But I also showed off how much of a couch potato I can be at Brad's Distillery. I was affectionate and happy to hang with the people there!

Bug Eyed Frank's RAD Report Card - Today I got to go to the Taco Festival, and then the pet store!!! I met other dogs and plenty of kids and loved everyone I met! I am so friendly and such a gentleman. I am gentle when taking treats and do great in public, even when its loud and crowded.

Bug Eyed Frank's RAD Report Card - Today i got to take a walk in Fishburn park! Then, I went on a car ride to have a pup cup! I proved to be an excellent car rider. During the walk I did pull some, but I relaxed quickly on breaks! I'm very sociable and fun, and I was sweet with everyone I met! While I can be quite mellow and laid back, I also have an athletic side! I am a very sweet and adventurous dog!

Bug Eyed Frank's RAD Report Card - Today I got to walk on the Greenway, and then go for lunch! While walking, I did not react to the people, bikes, strollers, fishing poles, or hats! I even know some tricks! Once we got to The Green Goat, I mellowed out some and laid back! I was very gentle meeting people, and never jumped on anyone. On the car ride back, I showed off my car manners. I am a friendly, curious, and happy/mellow dog!

Bug Eyed Frank's RAD Report Card - Today I got to play at the park, go for a hike, and get a bath! I'm sociable and fun, I like to ride in the car, I like to be outdoors, I like to go on hikes, I'm mellow and laid back, and I can do tricks! Three words to describe me are - Loyal, sweet, and cuddly. Notes - I'm not so sure about playing the water at the park, but I was sch a good boy in the bath! I'm dog neutral and love kids. I'm very loyal and fall in love quickly. I am very big on cuddling and will crawl right in your lap if you let me!
