Bates and Polly
Bates was quick to cuddle up to everyone, including Fletch, who did not want to cuddle anyone just yet. You can see from the look on his face at the top photo that he didn’t know what to make of the attention. In the photo at the bottom, Fletch was laying near his Dad on the couch with his belly up and Bates just came over and plopped his legs onto Fletch’s belly. Back then Bates still had the stitches from having his eye removed. When the rescue showed video of him, he was cuddling the other larger dogs just like this. The middle photos are Bates and Polly. She adopted him from the beginning as her BFF. Bates is in the unique position to be everyone’s BFF in the house. He is Fletch’s wingman. He is Polly’s BFF. He is Cali’s kindred spirit. He treats them all like the close family that they are.
