🐶Meet Blaze🐶

Blazey Boy celebrated his 3rd birthday in true style, surrounded by all his friends at daycare for a fabulous purple extravaganza.

Blaze’s loves chasing squirrels, playing fetch and football with his Hooman brothers (although his favourite talent is definitely bursting footballs)

And when it comes to listening? Well Blaze has selective hearing. Unless your talking about dinner time 🍗.

If you know the traits of a boxer, you will know these big goofy loving bundles of fun make absolutely wonderful family pets. Blaze is such a joy and brings so much happiness wherever he goes.

Show this handsome boy some love and vote for Blaze!
