This is the story of a dog named Murphy.

Murphy is a handsome, 3-year-old German Shepherd mix. His family adopted him from the Centre County PAWS, an organization whose mission is to find forever homes for cats and dogs. Murphy spent 600 days at the shelter. And when he first got there, he didn’t like the company of other dogs.

But thankfully, some kind volunteers helped trained Murphy. And that training helped Murphy find his forever home.

Murphy is a well-behaved and energetic boy. He’s friendly and he loves to meet new people.

Murphy loved his new life with his new family. He got to sleep on the bed, and he got to go on different adventures.

Life seemed perfect for Murphy.

However, Murphy was diagnosed with cancer and ended up losing his leg.
