His name is Joker, and yes, he earned it.
He’s 6 months old, just arrived in New York, and has already befriended a donkey named Max. He did not waste a single minute! 🫏
Nobody knows what breed he is and honestly that’s part of his mystique. When a dog comes through rescue we make our best guess based on what’s standing in front of us, and what’s standing in front of us is a mixed breed puppy who just charmed a donkey, so we’re working with limited data. Does it matter? We’d argue no.
What does matter is that he is young, adaptable, and a complete blank slate in the best possible way. No established bad habits, no strong opinions about anything yet, just a puppy ready to grow into whatever life you hand him. Apartment, house, farm with additional livestock he can befriend, all options are on the table.
He’s settling in, figuring out his surroundings, and actively looking for his people. The bar to win him over is apparently pretty low given the donkey situation, so you’re already ahead.
