Arrival Story:
My neighbor's dog had a litter, but Suki was the runt & wasn't getting picked due to an overbite & runny nose which other prospective buyer's believed to be a sign of illness. The family offered him to me free otherwise he was going to the pound. So of course I took him, he was adorable!

Bio:
Suki has been a handful since I took him in: - that runny nose was due to deformed sinus cavities (nothing a benadryl doesn't fix) - he has pigeon-toed front feet & bow-legged back feet causing him to waddle - soon after he moved in, he got antsy w/ an older dog & received a nice scar along his back (thankfully, he was ok though!) - a thyroid problem was discovered later on (due to some rapid weight gain) Though, he's on meds now & as happy/healthy as ever! His name comes from the Japanese word meaning "beloved".
