Kennel assistant Holly brought homeless hound Buzz home for a sleepover. She writes:
🚘Buzz is a brilliant passenger. Happily hops in and out of the car and settles down straight away.
🏠He did absolutely brilliantly at home, and settled down quickly.
🫂Buzz absolutely loves people. His tail never stops wagging, he loves to make new friends.
💤He slept through the night with no issues.
