This week’s Arlington Pet of the Week is Brody, a rescue dog in Shirlington who can be found running laps at the Four Mile Run dog park.
Here’s what owner Jeanna had to say about her playful pup:
Brody is a 5-year-old rescue living in Shirlington Village. Before Arlington, Brody attended James Madison Univesity where he helped his mom finish up grad school before making the transition to city life. Brody’s favorite past time is chasing tennis balls and running laps at the Four Mile Run Dog Park. His least favorite thing is the baths that occur after running and swimming at the park!
When not outside playing and chasing squirrels he can be found napping on the couch, gnawing on his favorite bone, or giving thousands of licks to anyone who will sit and stay for him. Brody truly thinks he is a lap dog and all he wants to do is cuddle!
Brody is happiest when surrounded by his human family and dog cousins, Molson the Lab and Sophie the Puggle. It is Brody’s wish to one day have an adopted brother of his own to share in his park adventures and naps with.
