Receive Text UpdatesMy dog’s favorite treat is beef liver, which he savors with pure joy. He loves to play, especially with a small, soft squeaky toy…but only for a moment before returning to what he loves most: being close to people.
My dog’s most unique quality is his instinctive compassion. He loves everyone he meets, but he has a special gift for comforting others—especially the elderly. Without being taught, he senses when someone needs calm, closeness, or a gentle presence, and he offers it freely. His love is quiet, constant, and healing.
Mickey should be America’s favorite dog first and foremost because he is absolutely adorable—but even more because of his journey. His first five years were a mystery, but when I received him, the condition he was in was heartbreaking. Through love and patience, he has transformed into a happy-go-lucky, fully furred pup who greets life with joy and resilience. Mickey is a living reminder that kindness can heal and that every dog deserves a second chance.
