As soon as we got there I laid eyes on Toby (then Enrique). He was the cutest pup I had ever seen and I loved his little dachshund legs.  I started getting very jealous when other people would look at him so I decided that we were adopting him.

If I am stressed, sad, or sick, Toby always finds a way to cuddle so close to me. There is also nothing better then coming home to someone who is so happy to see you!"
