More: Named after the Red Sox, Sox is our family’s first dog. He is best friends with our six month old daughter. He gives her lots of big kisses, and he always snuggles with her after a long day of tummy time. As for Sox, he is a survivor! At only 8 weeks old, he had giardia, an upper respiratory infection, and pneumonia. Emergency vets weren’t sure that he would make it. But today, Sox is strong and healthy and oh-so loving and handsome!
