Mulligan is a Yorkshire Terrier mix. He's almost 2 and has a wonderful little fur-sonality. He mainly enjoys barking at things that make noise and things that
scare and confuse him, like the heating vent. His other hobbies include playing with his many
toys and people watching from the living room window. He's a
really mild-mannered puppy and quite smart, as evidenced in his many prolific lines of research. I adopted him in April
of 2007 after finding him at www.petfinder.com.
His mom was rescued from a puppy mill, so we can't be certain what his breed is- could be Pomeranian, squirrel, or guinea pig- I
prefer to maintain the mystery.

So handsome

Mulligan sports his new backpack. He's starting a line of research on
anthropomorphism based on the SEEK model (cf. Epley, Waytz, &
Cacioppo,
2007).
