Buddy of Land O' Lakes
Buddy is a male Yorkie-Poo mix who lives in Land O’ Lakes. His funniest moment was sliding off the dock while going after a bird. His best trick is walking on two feet. Buddy likes chasing squirrels, eating treats and going to Little League games. But he dislikes taking a bath and going to the vet. But best of all, Buddy has a friend name Carol who loves him very much. Oh, and just in case you are wondering, that is not a real gator that Buddy is using for a chair.
