Our pet of the week is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Eli's owner refers to him as a great dane in a 20-pound body! His nickname, Small Boy, is perfect for a tiny pup like him. Eli may be little, but he has a larger than life personality.
First day home
When his family finally took him home, they say it was the best day of their lives. He snuggled with everybody and immediately felt at home. C'mon, who doesn't love snuggles from their fur baby?!

Likes
Like most dogs, Eli loves going to the dog park and playing with all his friends. He's an energetic pup and he loves running around at the park!
Dislikes
While he loves running around and getting dirty, he doesn't like getting clean at bath time.
Funniest habit
Eli is absolutely fearless around any other dog, no matter their size. He can square up with the biggest of pups. Be careful, Eli!
Favorite Toy
He loves to play with his tennis balls, but really, what dog doesn't?
'My Best Friend'
Eli is truly his owner's best friend and she doesn't know what she would do without him in her life. So cute!
