My new dog is great! When his cute tail wagged, we just had to take him home with us. We call him Hap because he is a happy dog. His tan fur is so pretty. I love to pet his soft fur. He is so big that my little brother rides on his back. He gets very tired after he plays. I love everything about my dog, Hap!
