“It’s an older injury, and we thought maybe it was beginning to cause him pain again since he’s been outside all this time with the weather turning colder,” says Burns. “He’ll limp when he walks, but he can run, and if he’s going through those scratching motions after he’s used the bathroom, he can kick up dirt like there’s nothing wrong with him. We think he’s gonna be alright.” Records staffer Michelle Allen has shared the same close-quartered office space as Burns has with Toby over the past week, and she, too, has formed a bond with her new pal - whom she’ll soon be doggie-sitting when Burns leaves for an out-of-town trip.
