08/21/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Biggie is SUCH a sweet old man! He’s long overdue for a visit to the dentist (maybe he got so sweet by eating sweets his whole life?!), but otherwise seems to be in good shape. One thing’s for sure, his spirit is still young and he’s full of character and charm! He is easy to walk on leash, seems housebroken, and loves treats (as long as they’re the kind his teeth can handle….soft or itty bitty!). He likes to talk to dogs we pass on the street, but I’m not sure that he’s saying anything mean. He knows “sit” and “down” and the latter never fails to quickly turn into “roll over”: Biggie loooves belly rubs! He nuzzles his head into me, will put his paw over my hand, and when I encourage him to get up he exposes more of his belly, bats his paws at me, and wags his tail. He’s going to make someone super happy…please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC and see if that might be you!
