Azor – Azor is a very common dog name in Poland, similar to “Fido” or “Rover”. A poster dog for mutts and mongrels everywhere, Azor looks like “Joe-average” dog, but he is very special. [more...]
Bro – Bro is a very handsome and laid back Golden Retriever, actually more red than golden. He has been a therapy dog for four of his six years and hopefully for many more to come. [more...]
