Tiny Dog was loved for five years.  He was loved as his owner’s health deteriorated, and Tiny Dog was still loved as his owner was forced to tell him goodbye.  That history of love shows in Tiny Dog’s behavior.  The Springer Spaniel-Beagle loves other dogs, cats, and kids, the three groups that challenge some canines.

However, Tiny Dog’s history of love shows another way.  Tiny Dog has had a few too many treats.  The 45-pound pup should weigh about 35 pounds.  That means that someone with a few pounds to lose could make Tiny Dog his partner on affection-building, calorie-burning strolls.

Tiny Dog would be a grateful exercise machine with fur.  He’d also be a best friend, one who’s already experienced at loving.

At just 10 weeks old, Mork wasn’t expecting to face the world without his mamma.  At least Mork didn’t face the unknown completely alone.  He and his fluffy sister, Mindy, came to the shelter together.  That meant that, instead of always grieving, the pair also saw adventures.

For Mork and Mindy, every bit of the world is amazing, wonderful, and worth exploring.  The kittens don’t feel unlucky, unloved or unwanted.  To them, the shelter is a big playground.  They pounce on the scattered toys.  They learn to bat kitten-sized rattling plastic balls.  And they climb the cat trees like tiny Tarzans and Janes.

Still, life would be better and more complete if someone laughed at their antics and held them when they were completely exhausted.
