Now the love muffin part-he will happily snuggle up with you on the couch or in bed. He loves nothing more than belly rubs but brace yourself because his full body leans might knock you over. He's a big fan of people of all shapes and sizes, especially if they have treats!
Get to the best part, you say? The life saving part? Time and time again, Ackley has come to the rescue of very sick pups that needed a blood transfusion to survive. You would think that the clinic and the needles and everything would be scary for a dog, but Ackley is an absolute pro. He even gives kisses to the veterinary technicians as they put him to sleep to draw the blood. Most recently, Ackely donated blood to post parvo puppy Richard Dreyfuss after the pup had to undergo surgery when his intestines telescoped onto itself. Not to mention his generous donation to Tipsy who underwent heart surgery early this year. That's SIX times Ackley saved a life. How's that for a shelter dog?!
