Enzo

Hi, I’m Enzo. I’m a six-year-old purebred Doberman. My favourite treat is roast beef ribs. I can knock on doors if I need to get someone’s attention. I hate agility class. My trick is to lay on the ground and make myself as heavy as possible when it’s time to go to class. I’m really just a lapdog in a big dog body.

A fun fact about Maury is that he used to work as a tree planter. He worked for 5 summers in Ontario and BC and has planted hundreds of thousands of trees over the course of that time. Although he never kept track of the exact number…it would not be surprising if he planted over 100,000 trees in a single season. His personal single day best is 5,000 trees. Other than planting trees, Maury has also served as a soccer ref for over 10 years.
