A volunteer writes:   I first met Denham in playgroup, happily romping with other dogs, and was told by staff that he’s already been promoted to a greeter dog!  How’s that for rocking your first day on the job!! Denham is a remarkably calm and easy boy for a pup, great on leash, soft and snuggly in my lap.   He loves to give kisses and hang with his person, and he’s definitely the dog you’ll want to chill out with. He’s a gentle feel good boy, not demanding of anything but kisses and a lap on which to snuggle.  As much as he loved playing with other dogs in group, he ignores them on our walk through the park, and doesn’t mind being tethered for our photo shoot (although he’d rather be close to me for hugs).  Staff is already in love with him and so am I.    His soft gentle eyes, easy tail wag and gentle manners will win your heart too.  Lanky, gorgeous, and a bit too thin his good looks and easy ways will make him the buddy you’ll always want by your side.
