This scruffy sweetheart is Jimmy Elliot, a 1-year-old, 14-pound pup with a gentle heart and a recent heartbreak. Just days after the 4th of July, unexpected fireworks startled him, causing him to leap off a bed and land wrong—resulting in a broken leg. Now in a cast until the end of August, Jimmy is recovering well and remains as sweet and silly as ever. While he can be shy at first, once he warms up, he’s an affectionate little homebody with a whole lot of love to give.
