In this week’s edition of “Pet of the Week,” we introduce to you  a four-legged friend who has captured the hearts of the Garner family in Brantley. Blue, a one-year-old Pitbull, is described as a “big baby.” Owned by Jordan and Shelly Garner, Blue has won over the Garner family with his endearing personality and unwavering devotion. 

Blue is an absolute sweetheart according to Shelly who says he is incredibly gentle and the perfect family dog. He enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like belly rubs and indulging in long, luxurious naps.

Blue is a fan of Beggin Strips, although his open-hearted approach to food means he’ll happily devour anything that doesn’t devour him first.

Blue enjoys doggy play dates with other canines, but his favorite playmate is none other than his human “sissy,” Evelyn with whom he shares a special bond.
