Pet of the Week

Hershey

A*chocolate bar is a sweet treat, but it's nothing compared to this chocolate lab. He's so sweet he's fattening. Hershey is only*5 months old, but he's already had a tough life.*His right eye is reddened and droopy, and he staggers a bit.*No, he's not drunk. It's yet to be determined if he has some type of*birth defect affecting his eye and his balance, or if perhaps*he was the victim of*blunt trauma to that side of his head.

In spite of*these problems, or maybe because of them,*this purebred chocolate lab*is about as loving and devoted as a dog can be, and will make the perfect companion. He may trip over his own paws once in a while, but he's ready to take long side-by-side walks with that special person who will forever be his hero.
