This one-year-old “Certified Hound Dog” is equal parts heartthrob and goofball, ready to charm his way into your life with tail wags, snuggles, and his signature “Love Me Drooly” smile.

While his leash manners lean more rock ‘n’ roll than refined, and he’s still working on basic commands and crate training, this blue suede sweetheart makes up for it with a gentle nature, playful spirit, and a smile that could melt even the coldest auditoriums.
