"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." — Josh Billings
Patti Murphy & Kelly
How did you meet your pet?
Through a rescue group, Fetching Companions. He had been turned in for reasons that became obvious after I had him for a couple of days, a little crazy and likes to bark, A LOT!
Your favorite thing about your pet?
Besides him being a little over the top sometimes, I love his enthusiasm for life and he’s lovable.
How does your pet enrich your life?
He is a great companion, he is very protective so he makes me feel safe at all times. He also gets me out of the house at least twice a day for walks, rain or shine, there’s no being lazy around Kelly.
If your pet could talk, what would he say?
Kelly’s greatest passion is swimming, so I imagine if he could talk, the first thing he would say is, “Please, please, please can we get a pool in the backyard, PLEASE!!” Sorry buddy, not going to happen.

She’s always in a hurry to go somewhere. Where you might ask? Nobody knows.
