09/28/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Mocha is all what you would want to see in a puppy. She is pretty, deliciously made, adorably sweet while lively, friendly and affectionate. She was brought to us by her “lifelong” owner who admitted not to be able, for the time being, to care for a pet but elaborated profusely on Mocha’s virtues. Of note is that Mocha, said to have a great personality, lived happily with a one year old little girl. Mocha is a bit shy in her kennel but accepts my leash right away. She strolls very nicely by my side and even does her business as we reach the yard. As per her former master, Mocha is not fully house trained yet. She is curious of other dogs met. Her neck stretches and her tail wags softly. She loves very much treats and sits beautifully on command for them. What a beautiful smile Mocha owns. Her face is so gentle… I have to have her on my lap and smooch her. Mocha does not mind. She is still just a babe at seven months of age. Mocha has been very well cared for. A sparkling diamond, pure and perfect. Mocha is a must to meet. Come at the Manhattan Care Center. Ask to see her and take her home.

She had no interest in Toy. Mocha kept a firm grip on Rawhide, body neutral. She whined when she saw helper dog, turned to exit and did not approach.
