Now, five years later, Mason is still a joy in their lives, constantly motivating them to get out of the house, be active, explore new territory and, above all, have fun.

A charming, lovable boy, Mason wins the hearts of all who meet him and he enjoys making friends. Whether out for a stroll on the Riverwalk or doing

a little shopping for new toys at Two Bostons, you can be sure this handsome fella is sharing his positive outlook on life with a wagging tail and a heart full of smiles.

“Mason’s genuine personality of giving unconditional love has taught me and my husband the importance of living life with a loving and playful mindset and to look for happiness in all moments of life,” Kathy says.

“More importantly, he has taught us about the joys and rewards of selfless acts and putting another being’s needs ahead of our own. Unknowingly, he has truly transformed us into more loving, caring, and affectionate beings!”
