It's not the size of the dog, it's the amount of leather in the sofa! Time to introduce the crew —. So, seems like it makes sense to introduce all of the mutts that call the BLDB home:. Hope — beauty walks in her shadow. Pig — the Big Daddy. Duke — Piggy’s wingman. Princess — as eccentric as we all expect royalty to be. Angus –the little old, blind, deaf man. Sammy — outside man, patiently waiting…. Plus the two current fosters, Sasha, and Annabelle. There is a bowl of MAGIC WATER on the front porch!
