Here is what Hanks owners had to say about him!

I truly don’t think we could put into words how much he means to us. I don’t know what we would do without him. Jake has said many times he doesn’t know how he’ll ever have another dog after him because he’ll never love one as much. He’s the very best boy.

He’s doing amazing! He loves the water, we finally got him over 50lbs (he lives a very very active lifestyle), he is absolutely crazy for anything with fur or feathers, he truly is the best boy. We move to Utah in a week and we are very excited for all our new outdoor adventures!
