Remember former Pet of the Week, Wolfe? Well, meet Dutch — the same pup, now living his best life in his forever home.

In his family’s own words, here’s how his Happy Tail unfolded:

Dutch (formerly known as Wolfe) was the perfect dog for our family! He has sooooo much energy, and can’t play enough chase in the yard with our other shelter dog, Brodi, who is sometimes connected at the hip. Dutch was really hesitant to be around us when we first adopted him, only wanting to stay in his corner of our dining room. But after several weeks of treats and laying down at his level, he would finally get close enough to give him a nose scratch. Two years later, he’s starting to greet company, and loves to snuggle while watching TV. We’ve nicknamed him “Dutch the Destroyer” because new stuffed toys (and dropped dryer sheets!) don’t usually stand a chance against him. One of the few exceptions to this is his gingerbread house, which was the first toy he played with and will usually be found in his dog bed at night.
