“My name is Henry. If you are a big Alabama fan like my mom, you can probably guess where my name came from. I am good at laying on the couch, snuggling and being cute, but lots of physical activity just isn’t my thing. I’m a 6-year-old shihpoo and an only fur child. I sleep with my mom every night in our king-size bed. (Adipex) I love to eat pizza rolls, but my favorite snacks are hot dogs and popcorn.”
Henry’s mom is Hope Turner of Luverne. She calls Henry her sunshine, and added he gives the best hugs and will give them on demand.
Turner said she has tried to bring another fur baby into the home, but Henry insists on being an only child.
Henry was the only puppy in his litter that was born without a tail and his mom said she knew he was a unique pup from the start.
When Henry’s water bowl is empty, he will push his bowl to his mom, no matter where in the house she is.
