Story
Morgan is an 8-year-old farm dog who has spent most of his life running free on a beautiful rural property. A loyal companion, Morgan is both house and crate trained, and while he loves the great outdoors, he’ll happily come inside to warm up when the weather gets too chilly. Morgan knows a few key tricks like `sit` and `come,` and he’s always eager to show off his obedience.As a natural protector, Morgan looks after the chickens when they are safely in their coop, but once they roam free, his instincts kick in, and he’s tempted by their free-range lifestyle. He gets along well with dogs his size and is always friendly and gentle with people and children. A true farm dog at heart, Morgan is always ready to lend a paw to whatever needs doing, while also enjoying his cozy moments indoors.
