Athena's story

　　Athena is the most beautiful hippo in the world. This round, blue beauty only wants loves, preferably in the form of belly rubs. She's a little hard to walk on leash, because she'll keep flopping down for a rub! You can see her heart overflowing through her amazing eyes. Sadly, Athena was done wrong in life and abused for breeding. For this reason, she does not trust other dogs. She can be near them, but is extremely uncomfortable with their attentions. She must be an only dog and we prefer a breed experienced home because while all love, she is a big, strong girl. Portrait photo courtesy @Sophie Gamand.
