My story…
I was born on a chilly morning in the Pacific Northwest into a human family that didn’t want me. Along with my brothers and sisters, I was given to a kind woman who ran a small animal shelter. I was scared and thought my life was over before it had even begun.
And yet, it seems I was marked by destiny. Even as a newborn puppy I felt there was something different about me, something unusual, exceptional.
You see, I have a sixth sense. It’s as if I can look inside the soul of any person or dog. Troubled souls, like those of my first human family, are dark—a gunmetal grey. But a soul filled with love shines light. To me, dogs give off light like the noonday sun, but for a while I wasn’t sure humans could emit more than a few weary sparks.
Then one day a couple came into the shelter. They shined. With my eyes I pleaded, “Pick me.”
That’s how my luck changed. My new human parents were almost like dogs! Their unselfishness and enthusiasm changed my perception of people.
I realized then that my gift had purpose – to discover the glow and passion of others and share their stories with the world.
I created In the PorterHaus so that I can relate my journey of discovery to you.
How can you join in?

Show Love
An enthusiastic greeting goes a long way.
I like to be the first to say hello and to greet others with enthusiasm, usually with a tail wag and a few licks right on the face. This wasn’t always true for me though. When I first arrived in this world I received a dark, damp greeting and I worried that, despite my sixth sense, my enthusiasm for life would fade.
Everything changed when I saw the light beaming from my new family the first time I met them. Their spirit and love simply demand a proper greeting, so I gave it to them with more kisses (slurp!) and hugs than they probably wanted.
Still today, every time they come home, no matter how long they’ve been gone, I make sure to show them love and appreciation. Belly and ear rubs usually follow……for me of course, not them.
*Next time a dog greets you, notice the tail wagging enthusiasm and how it makes you feel.
