Huey's Home

We adopted Huey on Aug 17, 2017 when he was around 4-5 years old. He's a 70 pound American Staffordshire Terrier and Coonhound mix. This poor guy had a rough life. His first family abandoned him. The Humane Society found him in the streets with a badly injured hind leg that required surgery and cast. He was likely hit by a car. A couple adopted him shortly after he healed, but unfortunately they were not very compatible. Huey was aggressive with other dogs and had bad leash reactivity. Then came my girlfriend and I. We decided to take a chance because his energy and loving demeanor appeared to be the perfect fit for us. It was challenging for the first month or two, but we managed to rehabilitate him with discipline, exercise, and a lot of love. He's the best boy!

We'll never know what Huey looked like as a cute puppy. We will never know his history and how he was treated during the most important part of his years. He's definitely needy and frequently asks for affection. He follows me everywhere; he's always standing by my side. With those classic puppy dog eyes he always seems to be saying to me, "please don't leave me." He really is an emotional dog. We're trying to build his confidence.

This is the first of what'll be many cinematic style narrative pictures of Huey 'Bubba' Lewis. It'll be another fun activity for all of us to bond over. My girlfriend and I love this little dude!
