Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society Dog of the Week: Bonbon

Halloween is here! The night when skeletons, ghosties, werewolves, and witches rule. Where spooky things happen under a full moon. But what if you are scared of Halloween? What if the creeps really do creep you out? Then shy little Bonbon is just the doggie for you!! Bonbon is all meaty treats and no tricks. Unless there is a snack involved, then she’ll do any trick. “Pass one more over, please! Don’t look at me!” she’d say between munches. Once, while hiding from trick-or-treaters, Bonbon ran into a pack of werewolves who were up to Halloween mischief. They invited Bonbon to run with them in the woods, and while Bonbon liked all the running, she’d rather snack than scare. “Umm, guys, it’s a little dark out here!” she said while running out of the woods. Scary movies are also a no-go for this sweet girl. Whenever one is on, she covers her eyes with her very furry paw and cuddles in close. And maybe sneaks a piece of candy or two, or three, or four. “I don’t want to be scared! I want to be loved,” Bonbon said with a jump. Last Halloween, Bonbon ran into a skeleton while she
