Pet of the Week: Brutus
Kearney, Neb. — Meet Brutus, this week's pet of the week!. Hi there, my name is Brutus! I am very sweet and love to give kisses. I am very loyal to my human friends and I have a lot of love to give. I am an active dog and love to go on walks and play fetch. I am not sure how I feel about other dogs, so I would need to test with any other dogs in the home. I am a great listener and love to cuddle up on the couch with my humans. I am a tad bit nervous around new people, but all it takes is 1 treat and we are BFF’s! If you are interested in meeting me, please stop into KAAS!
