WHAT YOUR VET THINKS WHEN A BOXER WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR…
“There won't be one thing left in the clinic that won't be sniffed now"
A day in the life of "Henry"
I jump, bouncing on the spot, my tongue flailing. It’s time, it’s time! My person is home, and it’s time for the long afternoon run. They put on their bright red shoes and lace them up, all while I bounce. Hurry up!
They’re finally ready, and my owner also begins to bounce, lifting their legs in unison to my jumps. It’s about to go down. He clips the lead to my neck bling, and I sit patiently at the door, waiting for my moment. It's sliding… Sliding…Sliding... NOW! I leap through, jerking my human as I do. He laughs and we both break into a run, bounding down the path towards the front never-pass gate.
I stretch, fully extending as I run. The lead taut between us, I hear my human running behind panting heavily. We’re almost there! The path opens up to the grassy plane and I look at all the friends bounding around. God, I love the park!
‘Sit Henry,’ I sit. My owner reaches down and puts his hand around my collar, holding me as he unclasps the lead.
‘Ready Henry?’ I begin to wiggle. ‘One, two, three!’ I leap, my front legs flailing wildly with each powerful stride. Time to run!
