Arthur is an action hero

Arthur is all action!

He doesn’t just look the part, with those amazing eyebrows and alert tail. He is the part!

According to his Volunteer Puppy Trainer Liz, he’s boisterous, inquisitive and adventurous. “He loves a towel to wrestle with. He likes diving through long grass. He wants to explore the garden. He enjoys playing with my other dog Shep.

“He finds Shep’s tail really fascinating. It’s a mystery to him – so furry and long! He’s often tempted to take a quick grab as it passes by but he’s learning to leave it alone now.

“He’s become attached to a sleeping bag. Not to sleep on it, you understand, but to nibble it. And jump on it. And dive into it.”

Is there anything that daunts him?

“The rain. At first. Now he’s decided he quite likes it and wants to get as soaked and muddy as possible.”

If you think Arthur is all go, then you might be relieved that he does have an ‘off’ switch. Back to Liz: “He likes watching cars go by. They’re always worth a little sit down to study them in greater detail.”

Phew! What a relief!

“He also gets on with Bella the rabbit. She kisses him through the mesh of her hutch.”

Ahhhh, that’s nice and relaxing, and very cute.

“But he’s obsessed with shoes and ankles.”

Oops, spoke too soon!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
