Hoagie is a grandpuppy, I raised his dad Bosley. Hoagie and his brother Hero were raised together here in Richmond and we called them the sandwhich boys. Hoagie was a great puppy to raise. He is very sweet and snuggly. He does cross his front paws like his dad. He was an excellent car rider and went with me for many experiences while on puppy program. He likes to go swimming and would never want to get out of the water. My wish for Hoagie as he graduates and goes to work is that he enjoys his work and has many great years of being a guide. I pray that he and his handler have great health and experiences. ~ Nora Pierre
