Frankie - Dachshund
"Hello,
Just to say thank you for choosing us to have Frankie. So three years on what a difference. He used to run and hide,
you could not look at him, had to turn our backs on him, would only eat food on his own.
Now he really is one of the family 👏 With our other two dogs, He has, you will see,
become a lap dog.
Once again thank you 🤗" Patricia
