His legs are short and his heart is gigantic. Shorty is perhaps the most helpful dog who has ever lived. Should anyone who could use a helping paw cross the path of this darling dog they can rest assured that help has arrived!

A little dog was helping tidy up the flower bed. With a mighty determination he would grab a weed between his teeth and then with all of his
