Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If joy had four legs, a wagging tail, and a big ol’ smile—it would be named Dickens. At just 7 months old, this pit mix puppy is already a legend in the making. He’s the life of the party, the king of playgroup, and possibly the mayor of wherever he goes (unofficial, but we’re working on it).
Dickens doesn’t just like other dogs—he LOVES them. Big dogs, little dogs, slow dogs, fast dogs, dogs who ignore him—he wants to be friends with everyone. And humans? Forget it. He’ll greet you like you’ve been besties for years. Didn’t sign up for face kisses? Too bad. Dickens says love is non-negotiable.
He’s still mastering the fine art of “calm,” but when your heart is this big and your wiggle is this strong, it’s hard to chill. Life is just too exciting!
Ready to add a little chaos, a lot of cuddles, and a whole ton of tail wags to your life? Dickens is your dude.
