Friar Tuck is a baby-Chihuahua mix, about 10 weeks old, and will likely stay under 8 to 10 lb. He was born with no front legs. Apparently, someone bred these dogs intentionally, then abandoned several of them to their local shelter. Tuck is a sweet boy, very much a normal, curious puppy, just missing his front legs. Friar Tuck is neutered, micro-chipped and has one more round of puppy shots left. Tuck gets around by waddling around on his back legs and is just starting to hop/leap to moving around more efficiently. Tuck is fine with other dogs, though they'd have to be gentle with him. He is not a barker, but more chirps like a little bird to get your attention. Tuck loves playing with his squeaky toys and curling inside your jacket to cuddle. He sweet and responsive to any person he meets.
