It’s sweet to know when one loves you so much that they don’t want to share you with anybody. This is the story of Mervin. The cranky dog who would not share his dad with anybody.
Mervin was brought into a shelter where his current dad worked and was in horrible condition. His dad, Joey Teixeira took him with the purpose of fostering him. The moment his dad saw his tongue hanging out, he knew he was special and wanted to keep him.
Seeing his tongue hang out was normal since this small ball of fur has no teeth. Since he has no teeth, it is quite understandable why his favorite food is yogurt. This little guy loves his yogurt so much that when he hears the refrigerator door open. He would run to check if any yogurt was coming out of it.
He loves his dad even more that he believes he owns him, and only loans him to his siblings. He loves getting the attention from Joey so much that he barks when Joey gives attention to someone else.
With what this dog has been through, he was about the meet the biggest challenge of his life. Small black particles were growing in his eye and some parts of his head. His father brought him to the vet, and it was found out that Mervin has malignant melanoma.
This little dog fought off cancer and after a few years, he was cancer-free. Such a strong fighter that comes in the size of this little dude. His experience is such a humbling one for the audience and the people who knew what he went through.
If this little dog can go through anything, people can too. Never lose your spirit and keep fighting on like Mervin.
