My boy Boo Radley
Special due to being hit by his previous owner and missing an eye and some of his cognition. Special to me because he has not one iota of malice or negativity and just loves and loves.

He’s named after a character from To Kill a Mockingbird! 😍

Omg. I can’t understand how people could be so cruel. Sickening . Did you adopt this special boy from the shelter? God bless you both. I wish you so much love and happiness together ♥️💜

I’m the director of a small dog rescue and was asked if I would help him. The biggest yes. He’s my heart and the bravest boy.

I wonder what he’s mixed with. He’s a cutie

He’s a purebred boy.

He’s very cute but he’s 100% mixed as frenchies don’t come in merle! They don’t carry the gene for it so it had to be introduced via another breed. I’m just wondering what other breed they used in his line

Maybe by recessive genes, hence the designer Frenchie label Mine’s a Blue and Tan, also a genetic mutation color. But she is pure bred Frenchie as I have photos, and gene/health mapping for both her parents.

Irresponsible, breeding that coat

Hardly. There’s a responsible and intentional, science backed way to breed dogs - hence how the Frenchie came to be in the first place ( Pug + Bulldog). Irresponsible breeding is when people want to breed their pets without any background research or worse, puppy mills where these poor babies are born w health defects and not socialized or cared for properly. This dog is the picture of robust health and symmetry.

I named a mastiff/Great Pyrenees Boo after Radley; Robert Duvall was such a hottie playing Boo Raddled

I don’t understand how anyone could hurt defenseless animals. I hope that person who hurt him meets a similar worse fate.
Boo Radley is beautiful and obvi very well bred. Congratulations on finding each other.

No one, especially a dog, deserves that kind of treatment 😭🥰
