Oliver's mom says: Two days after my husband and I were married, we got Oliver. He was from a rescue south of Buffalo, and the first puppy we saw. We fell in love with his big brown eyes immediately. He is very quite (we call him the "silent beagle") and very gentle. Oliver is a registered therapy dog--he volunteers every other week at a nursing home, where his favorite activity is to fall asleep on the residents' beds. As you can see, Oliver has the biggest lips of any beagle we have ever met. When ever he falls asleep on the couch we stuff a few kibbles in his lips as a "wake up" snack. Our life would be very quiet without our cute puppy!
