More: Teddy is a rescue dog whom I adopted at age 4 from a local no-kill animal shelter. It is thought that he originally came from a puppy mill as his tail is cropped very short. Teddy loves to ride in the car and is happiest up at the cabin in NH when swimming, fishing, canoeing, and digging on the sandy beach lakeside. He also loves to chase chippies and field mice and walk through the woods.
