Brutus #6 Yellow Labrador Retriever Male 4.5 Years Old ID#3662
Meet Brutus! This big, handsome Labrador was surrendered to Brookline by his owner because he did not have the time to care for him any longer. Brutus lived on a farm but his owner was not a breeder. He spent his time in an indoor/outdoor kennel that had an outside 1/4 acre fenced run when not with his owner. Brutus is now in a Brookline foster home learning the ins and outs of being an inside pampered dog. Please read his blog from the bottom up to learn more about him while in foster care.

Brutus had his rescue ride today, thanks Mike!!! 
To say he is a BIG BOY (143lbs at vet 7/22) is an understatement…I thought Cooper was big but Brutus is definitely bigger. He is truly a gentle giant!! Brutus was happy to meet my 2 dogs and everyone got along great. I put an XXL male wrap on him just in case….it barely fits him. But he has not lifted his leg or tried to mark anything in the house. I walked him around inside and he came back to the mud room and just wanted to lay there and observe for a little while. He eventually got brave and came into the kitchen and then the rest of the house. Skye has a new best friend. I took him out with my guys for a swim and figured he would just hang under the umbrella and watch but he followed them into the pool and swam!!
I think he has the lab appetite, he was very interested in the dishwasher, fridge and the food I was preparing on the kitchen counter and his nose reaches the kitchen counter. Brutus is unsure of the cats, he wants to get close for a sniff but Star keeps hissing at him so he backs up and walks away. It’s great that he respects her warning! He loves pets and if you stop he gently puts his big paw on your leg or arm to get some more.
This boy is just absolutely wonderful!!!
