True to his legendary name, Bob lives by one simple rule: every little thing is gonna be alright. He moves through life on island time, bringing irie energy wherever he goes. Bob is affectionate, people focused, joyful, and emotionally intuitive. He spreads happiness without trying. His tail keeps the beat, his expressive eyes tell whole stories, and his presence alone can lift the mood of a room. If love had a soundtrack, Bob would be on repeat. Track One: Redemption Song When Bob Marley arrived at the shelter, he was buried beneath severe matting and thick dreadlocks that were painfully caked with urine, feces, and filth. Every tug of his coat caused discomfort. Volunteers removed what they safely could, and at his professional grooming appointment, Bob was shaved all the way down so he could finally feel relief. And underneath it all was a gentle, trusting dog with natural mystic energy who never stopped believing in people. His beautiful coat will grow back. His heart was always gold. Track Two: Is This Love Bob is a classic velcro dog. He wants to be near his people, involved in whatever is happening, and close enough to soak up all the affection. He thrives on connection and absolutely loves to cuddle. If you are wondering, yes, this love is real and Bob is all in. Once Bob feels he has gotten his fill of love for the day, he is perfectly content putting himself to bed. Independent when needed, affectionate always. Track Three: Sun Is Shining Bob wakes up between 7 and 9 in the morning and heads straight outside for a potty break and playtime in the yard, usually lasting 30 minutes to an hour. Bob greets each morning like the sun really is shining just for him. Breakfast follows and includes one cup of kibble topped with a jerky treat, because Bob believes mornings should start on a high note. On workdays, Bob accompanies his foster to the doggy salon. He enjoys calmly roaming around, observing the activity, people watching, and occasionally socializing with other dogs. He also takes short crate breaks to relax. On days off, the routine stays the same with added walks, zoomies around the house, and extra together time. Dinner is served between 6 and 8 in the evening. Track Four: Could You Be Loved Bob was anxious during his first few days, pacing and struggling to settle. Once he realized he was safe, his stress melted away. Now he naps peacefully, sleeps through the night without whining, and relaxes comfortably even when his foster steps away. Bob is tender, expressive, and deeply loving. He does not just want a home. He wants to belong. Track Five: Get Up Stand Up Bob has a bright, lively personality. He enjoys activity, playtime, and being included, but he is not hyper. He believes in getting up, standing up, and then happily settling back down for a cuddle. He is enthusiastic, happy, and full of positive energy, with a great ability to relax when the moment calls for it. Track Six: No Woman No Cry Bob does well on walks. He does not pull, does not bark at other dogs, and is not distracted by squirrels. When he gets excited, he may chew on his leash, but with consistency and routine this should continue to improve. No worries here. Track Seven: Every Little Thing Bob Marley has epilepsy and is on medication that he will need to remain on for life. His condition is currently managed and does not stop him from being joyful, affectionate, and full of life. This is simply part of his story, not what defines him. Final Track: One Love Bob Marley is the kind of dog who changes a home. He brings joy, warmth, and positive vibrations wherever he goes. His idea of a perfect world includes one couch, one family, and a whole lot of love. One dog. One home. One love.
