Hi Murphy! A very happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart! What a treat to see your beautiful face staring back at me, bringing some much needed *sunshine* to my gray and gloomy day! What a hunky handsome boy you are, Murphy, one beautiful blend of two beloved breeds! (We don't see many Irish Setters these days, sadly!) At first glance (your thumbnail) I thought you were all Chessie! But after viewing you "life size," I could see your Irish side shining through in that sweet, love filled face! It boggles my mind to think that a dog as beautiful as you, at age 4, found himself in need of a home, wiling away the hours in that shelter just waiting for that special family to come along and spring you! But no surprise to learn how handily you won over your humans; that shy and demure possum approach works every time! And once home, it didn't take long before your joyful, life loving, energetic personality broke through, and the rest, as they, is history! What a big, happy, love filled family of assorted humans and furry ones is yours, Murphy! You hit the forever family jackpot in them, and they couldn't have hoped for a sweeter, more loving best friend and loving companion than you! What a perfect match, what cherished memories you'll be making over the many years to come!
Thanks to your Dad for sharing your heart warming story, and all of those beautiful, heart melting pics with us all! I hope you and your 2 doggie sibs, your little humans and parents, are all enjoying a very special, fun and love filled "top dog" day! (Hope you can fit some ball time in!)
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, precious Murhpy, and to your furry sibs, too! Long and happy life to you, sweetheart!
