Dog Log Cafe Lenny


We have also been in the fortunate position to help the Humane Society from time to time. Our first assignment was Lenny, another Beagle who had been given up at quite an old age. He suffered from what was believed to be extreme shyness. It was hoped that our pack (we had four at the time) could help bring him out of his shell. When He was brought home there was about half an hour when the five were sniffing and barking and then without warning- all playing together as though they were life long friends.

Really, that is the great thing about dogs- they get along. They never looked back and from that first meeting Lenny fit in. There would certainly have been worse things than having Lenny as a permanent part of the family. But fortunately for him an elderly gentleman came to the Humane Society looking for an older dog that did not require too much physical activity. Lenny was the perfect fit. We returned him to the shelter and it was love at first site. Perhaps it was his years but Lenny exemplified the affectionate side of the Beagle. Some part of Lenny always had to be touching a part of some human. Lenny just made you feel loved.
