Bean (AKA Coco)

After waiting a year after losing our beloved beagle, my step mom and I decided to take the initiative to start a search for a new addition to the family. After visiting Boston to see family in the summer and meeting so many wonderful Bostons and their owners I knew that a BT would be the perfect edition to our family. We've always had rescue dogs and other animals, and stumbled upon MWBTR. Bean (formerly known as Coco) stuck out to us immediately with the adorable little dot on top of her head! Within a week we arranged a home visit and met the sweetest Boston and could not wait to meet our little Bean!

When my family and I first arrived at Bean's foster home we immediately picked her out of the four other Bostons competing for our attention. Bean was by far the spazziest dog we had ever met, especially for being nine years old! She ran around the house and wiped out when she attempted to turn a corner to bring us a toy. We instantly knew we were in love.

However, on the long car ride back to Columbus from Lima we were amazed to find that she had settled down and curled up into a tiny 'Boston ball' on my lap. Bean blended in perfectly to our family almost immediately. Our house is a revolving door for friends, family and foster kittens but no matter who she meets she always greets them with her favorite rope toy and precious little piggy noises!

Bean had an operation before her adoption to remove a stage 1 mass on her back left leg, this mass resurfaced last year but we're happy to report that she's been doing just fine ever since!

I'm currently going to school to become a Veterinary Technician due to my love for animals, and Bean has been a constant reminder of the unconditional love and friendship animals give us. She is truly my best friend and goes wherever I go- whether it's hanging out on the couch, walking around downtown or hitting the dog park, Bean loves to go everywhere and meet everyone! My family and I cannot thank MWBTR enough for all of the hard work that they do for these dogs, Bean is such a huge part of our family and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for my best friend!
