Twelve-year-old Lil Hobbs regularly attends hydrotherapy sessions for various health conditions. But the elderly dog refuses to do his part and waits for the instructor to drag him around the pool. Kathryn H, a 34-year-old University Administrator from San Diego, California rescued Lil Hobbs on Christmas Eve 2016. She was living in New York City at the time and had recently finished graduate school. Kathryn saw his profile on PetFinder, put in an application and met him with his foster team for an introductory walk in the East Village in New York. She said: “I saw Lil Hobbs and thought that was the cutest name I’d ever heard! “The first time I saw him…I had never seen a dog walk slower than him! “After half a block, he had to take a break and just melted into my arms - he doesn’t let most people hold him, so he must have felt comfortable with me.” Compilation video*
