The spotlight of the  “Crenshaw Animal Clinic Pet of the Week” feature currently shines upon a four-and-a-half-month-old Belgian Malinois named Flash. Flash, true to his name, is a whirlwind of excitement. Flash has already mastered a few commands, including the basics like sit and stay. His owner, Kenneth Brumit of Rutledge, said Flash is a ball of playful enthusiasm and energy. 

Flash’s journey to becoming a beloved member of the Brumit family began when a police officer’s dog had a litter of puppies. As Kenneth approached the litter to choose his new companion, Flash made his mark by playfully biting Kenneth’s finger, sealing the deal with a mix of spunk and charm.

This spirited pup has a hearty appetite and is not picky when it comes to food; he’ll gladly devour anything placed in front of him. Flash is named after Brumit’s favorite superhero and this furry superhero-in-training has an insatiable love for running, playing fetch and swimming. He is also a fan of snuggling. 

A particularly entertaining part of Flash’s routine is his end-of-day flop onto the bed, a dramatic and comical display.

The Luverne Journal urges pet owners to enter their pet today. Who knows, your beloved companion might just be the talk of the town in the next edition!
