As The Argonaut Staff and lovers of puppies, we took to the Palouse to find the best pups you have to offer. No matter the size, color, breed or pawverty level — all pups are the best and we are here to find them. Missed us this week or want your pup (or other furry creature) to be featured in next week’s Pups on the Palouse? Send us an email at [email protected].
On this week’s Pups on the Palouse we met local therapy dog, Houdini. Houdini was visiting campus through Palouse Paws for a Vandal Health therapy dog event Tuesday.
Houdini has been working as a therapy dog for 10 years now, starting in elementary school reading programs after his departure from the 4H program.
He got his name due to his escape artist behavior. His current human adopted him as an 8-month-old after the shelter he was at began considering putting him down for his numerous escapes.
“He constantly escaped from everything we tried to put him in to,” his human Molly Hallock said. “He can chew through cables, break out of cages, climb fences and just disappear. Even if he’s standing next to you all of a sudden, he’s gone.”
