Leroy at 8 Years "I like Flint River Ranch, but love people food best." Leroy Breed: English Bulldog Weight: 51 pounds Gender: Male Favorite Food: He loves Flint River Ranch Trout and Potato. His favorite treats are banana ends in the morning and a bite of avocado. Favorite Activities: He enjoys walking anywhere, especially on the beach at Martha's Vineyard. Favorite Place to Sleep: He sleeps in his owners' bed Story: Leroy was sent to "Boot Camp" in Kansas City 7½ years ago for "reprogramming." Our son and his wife thought they had the perfect New York City apartment dog—quiet, lazy, and requiring little exercise. Leroy soon became "Big Bad," wanting attention at all hours, keeping a doctor who worked nights awake by day, and our son and his wife awake at night wanting to play. Leroy arrived by air after Kansas City had a major ice storm with no electricity. He loved his cold new home. Our son's reclaim effort failed. Leroy was well settled.
