“I’m obsessed with the musical,” she said. “After meeting Hamilton in the shelter, I was like, ‘How do I convince everyone he’s the dog for me?’ So I was like, ‘I’m going to give him a great name.’”
Paul said pit bull mixes often get a bad reputation, but Hamilton’s been nothing but affectionate.
“He’s the sweetest dog ever — he loves other dogs. He’s big on cuddling; he really doesn’t have like a single mean bone,” she said. “I’ve never heard him growl, except in his sleep once.”
Paul got him at a shelter where he was neglected. There, he contracted severe mange, an infection that causes dogs to lose their hair.
Because of this, Paul said Hamilton turned into somewhat of a fashionista.
“The vet said to put clothes on him, so he has a very full closet,” she said. “So I went to Walmart, and I got him these Minion PJs.”
His couture has gotten him a lot of attention.
“Everyone kind of knew who he was because he was that one dog who was in little boy’s pajamas,” Paul said.
