Murphy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Murphy
Age: Eight weeks old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie, Golden Retriever mix
Home: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
 
   Murphy came into my life after his brothers, sisters, and he were put in a box and abandoned on the side of a busy street. After spending a little time with him, I felt a strong connection and I chose Murphy to take home and be my companion. After only one week and Murph and I were the best of buds!

    Murphy loves snow. If it were up to him, he would spend all his days buried in the snow instead of curled up in his warm and cozy doggy bed. Despite the fact that he is teething and thinks everything in site is a chew toy, he is still pretty obedient and very eager to learn. He already has almost all his basics down (sit, lay down, heel) and he can also shake. Murph loves retrieving anything that is thrown, and has also taken a strong liking to swimming. One thing very odd about Murph is that he sleeps with his eyes wide open! Rarely does he shut his eyes during his sleep, it's pretty cool.

    I've been waiting along time for a dog to call my own, and now that he�s here, the time has been exciting and promising. I look forward to the future with him! It's such a warm feeling to come and be greeted by Murphy... so excited and happy too see me. Murph is my best bud and nothing can keep us apart!
