Mugsy is a very smart 5 year old pure bred Vizsla. He loves his people and likes everyone, in spite of his treatment before rescue, he doesn’t carry a grudge, he knows that life is a bag of dog cookies; you never know which flavor you will get. He also knows that dogs can’t have chocolate because it can be toxic to dogs. Sometimes you have to just climb a tree or sit on the porch with friends and sip some water. Chasing cats is fun, but should be avoided especially the house cats, but rabbits in the garden are fair game. Mugsy knows the importance of children and that they need lots of love the same as the adults, plus chasing a tennis ball is really fun. Mostly he knows how short life can be so it needs to be lived to its fullest every day, filled with love, good food and a family. My husband likens Mugsy as the Forest Gump of the dog world or at least the V world, He is a goof ball, he climbs trees, and he carries a blanket around in his mouth.

When he was in foster care he was called Mugsy, his new family changed his name to Esby. He was adopted by a family of 4 which included two little children. I’m sure if one could read his mind he would be saying something like “how did I manage to luck out?” He will get more attention than any self respecting V expects. Esby has already decided that Marc was the alpha male and he should listen. He’s been off lead checking out the area for whatever attracts his attention. When the kids are ready to go out and play he’s right there with them. It is a very good match! - Jerry
