Hawking - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Fort Wayne, Indiana

Meet Hawking: a very big Lab mix with the brain of a genius, the body of a freight train, and the energy of a dog who just discovered he has legs five minutes ago. He is not so much "walking" through life as he is enthusiastically colliding with it at full speed.

Despite his size-imagine "small horse who thinks he's a lap dog"-Hawking is pure-hearted chaos wrapped in a very large, very happy body. He greets life like every moment is the best idea anyone has ever had, especially if that moment involves mud, water, or unsuspecting humans.

He is affectionate to a fault, believing personal space is just a rumor made up by cats. Leaning is his love language, and "gentle" is something he is still working on understanding. When he runs, the ground does not so much support him as negotiate with him.

Hawking is a lovable, oversized whirlwind of joy, curiosity, and enthusiasm who turns ordinary days into full-scale events. Warning: may cause laughter, mild bruising, and the sudden realization that your house now belongs to a very happy, very large dog.
