Tommy comes across as loud, foul-mouthed, hot-headed, and stubborn at first glance—all sharp edges and volume. Spend any real time with him, though, and the truth shows through: he’s charming in a bright, shameless way, endlessly cheerful, quietly kind, and deeply clingy. A soft boy wrapped in sunshine. A golden retriever who never learned how to love at a normal volume.

Besides his friends and family, he has you—his beloved black cat.
