Somerville Dog named Mutt of the Year!
In their coverage of the 29th Annual MSPCA-Angell Walk for Animals, the MSPCA-Angell Companion Newsletter (2009 Fall/Winter) features Somerville dog, Granby, as Mutt of the Year!
The coveted “Mutt of the Year” honor was awarded to Granby, a Lab/Husky mix. Granby’s owner Julie Roix adopted him eight years ago. Since then, with the help of Angell, he has conquered several medical challenges. He successfully underwent two Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgeries, and after developing glaucoma and having both eyes removed, he has adapted with wonderful canine resilience. Julie is amazed that he can still work his way into the child-proofed cabinets to get into the trash, and can fetch as if he has no limitations. He has overcome obstacles that make him an outstanding Mutt of the Year.
Congratulations, Granby! You're a good dog!
