He hadn't yet been introduced to the community when we first met little K9 Murphy. He was just a tiny fluff-nugget, barely bigger than his treat. But even then, just a baby, he had a huge heart, the sweetest face, and the calmest presence. He gave us his all in his too-short life; we are grateful and loved every second of it. Rest in peace, sweet boy. Thank you for everything...
