Magnus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Magnus
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepherd, Chow mix
Home: Hamilton, New Jersey, USA
 
   Magnus is a great dog who brings so much to our lives every day with his incredible personality. Magnus became our pet in a very unique way. Lynn was working in the drive-thru of a local bank when a car came through sporting a hand-made sign indicating free puppies. Lynn is a sucker for dogs so she asked them to hold up one of the pups for her to see. The owner reached back and help up our wonderful Magnus. Lynn fell in love and called me and her husband asking if it was o.k. for her to bring another dog home. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Magnus is very hyper and full of incredibly energy. He was named after a former strongest man in the world competitor from Germany, Magnus Von Magnusson. He loves to play "ball-ball" in the back yard for hours and hours - running until he can't run anymore. He loves to tease his brother (Brownie, a fourteen-year-old Lhasa Apso) and sister (Ginger an eight-year-old Cocker Spaniel) and often tosses them bones and toys with his mouth to get them to play along with him. He has beautiful markings around his eyes and his smile can get you out of the worst of moods. We are so blessed that Magnus is a part of our lives! We love you MVM.
