Arrival Story:
I pondered over getting a dog for years. Eventually, when the time was right, I set out looking for a special pup. I asked my mom, who has much animal experience, to call on an ad I saw for BT pups. Vin's breeder described what my mom thought was the perfect dog for me: the runt of the litter who loved people more than anything else. She promised the breeder I'd pick him up, and I did the following weekend.

Bio:
He's very un-boston. He doesn't look very boston or act typically boston. He takes a long time to warm up to other dogs and HATES being touched. None of that stops him from loving his best friend, Sam the Border Collie, desperately or from spooning his parents in bed on Saturday mornings. He's the best little dog that's ever been made.
