05/11/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes “Teddie was a little shy at first. It took some coaxing to get him leashed up and out of the kennel. He was very gentle, though. Never defensive. He was very calm during the walk, with a nice loose leash the whole time. He never lunged at any passers by nor dogs. He had an admirer in the park and another on the street. He’s real handsome and a gentleman to boot!”
