Hammi’s favorite toy is “ball-ball” (a tennis ball). He can be peacefully sleeping in one room, and will go berserk when he hears the bouncing sound from a distance. For treats, nothing beats beef liver and crispy salmon skin - fuel for his next adventure. Occasional cow-ear, beef cheek, and duck head are other contenders.
Hammi lives life on the edge, literally. He’s a fearless thrill seeker who insists on pooping as close as possible to the sidewalk edge while balancing all four paws like a gymnast. He also prefers doing his business next to cars and somehow knows when someone’s inside, taking extra time just to keep things interesting. He loves to greet his people with a joyful “awooo,” making every hello unforgettable.
Hammi represents pure joy, curiosity, and living boldly. He’s traveled across 12 states, embraced snow, rejected water, and made friends everywhere he goes. He reminds people to laugh, explore, and enjoy the little (and silly) moments in life - whether that’s an awooo greeting, a stolen tennis ball, or snacks earned after an adventure. Hammi doesn’t just love life - he celebrates it.
