My name is Brunco and I live at Playa El Valle and I am the strong one. I am built for the beach — strong legs, strong chest, strong tail that clears entire tables when it wags. I run into the waves every morning with full commitment and they try to push me back and I am mostly not pushed back. I have scratched my own tick situation significantly worse by rubbing against every available surface but I feel I have made progress and I remain optimistic about it. The gut worms are slowing me down and I need medicine urgently because I have beach to cover and waves to challenge and mountains to admire and I would like to do all of this at full health. I am not a delicate dog. But even strong dogs need care. Even Brunco needs care.
