Tuna was sleeping. “He really does not do much,” said Courtney Dasher, with an apologetic laugh. “He truly would prefer to just be under the covers the majority of the day.” I found that highly relatable and told her so. Besides, with 2.1 million Instagram followers, numerous television appearances, a book, a plush toy, a …
The first time Bunny spoke, it was like a light bulb turned on in her furry head. The two-year-old, black-and-white sheepadoodle didn’t speak in the traditional sense, but rather she communicated through a soundboard dotted with round recordable buttons.
