He's the newest addition to our family. We adopted him this weekend from the animal shelter and picked him up from the vet today after getting fixed.
He's a rat terrier mix of some kind. About 25 pounds, and he needs a bit of weight on him so he'll probably end up about 30ish or so. He's incredibly friendly and sooper smart.
He's very sweet, loves attention, very affectionate, loves our Hooligans, and is going to fit in very well in our family.
He hasn't made a peep since we've met him. I'm not sure if he knows how to bark at all, actually.

I've been with Bea for 7.5 years and only heard her bark about a dozen times...if that.

He also says that Lewis is likely a Terrier/Whippet mix of some sort, maybe with lab thrown in somewhere down the line, but that's somewhat unlikely given his small size and the fact that he doesn't like to chew on stuff.
He was weighed today at 24lbs even, and the vet says that he'll likely top out at about 30lbs as a healthy weight.
He got the cone of shame today to help him stop licking his surgery wound, and the poor dog looks pretty pathetic with the cone on.
I bought one of those ropes with a ball on the end of it to play tug-of-war with him, and after a rather furious session this evening I got an ever-so-slight grumble/growl out of him. It was barely audible.
The vet says he may some day find his voice, or he may not.
Regardless, he's a pretty amazing little guy for such a small dog.
