How did you find your dog? Through an American Kennel Club reference to breeders online. There was a coincidental email response from the breeder saying that someone backed out of the deposit they had on Linus.
How did you pick a name? We always wanted a “Peanuts” family.
Describe Lord Linus’ personality: Smart, goofy, playful, eager to please, gregarious and in your face.
Any funny stories about something he’s done? Linus loves carrying the newspaper home from the gas station for his Grandma MeMe. One afternoon we took Linus into Frank Fetch Park off lead. He saw a man sitting on a bench next to the fountain with a newspaper on his lap. In true Linus form, he walked right over to the man, took the newspaper off his lap and brought it back to us, tail wagging. We aren’t sure who thought it was more funny, the man sitting on the fountain, or Linus.
Does your dog ever get to eat people food? No people food. It doesn’t end well for either party.
What has your pet added to your family? It has added a responsibility to give Linus the life he deserves—taking him for walks, exploring different parts of the city. We would like to have Linus become a certified service dog so we could visit local hospitals. He brings such love and life to any situation, especially to our home. Linus is the main attraction in our life. Our friends and family like Linus more than us, but, after all, we do too.
