This is Mikey. He's still adjusting to life after the loss of one of his biggest passions, which was carbs. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: charleyr90)

a paper sign taped to a brick wall reads, “Please do not feed Mikey. We have recently found out he is allergic to Potato (chips), Rice and most cereals (bread etc.) He is now on a special diet and his heath has improved. Mikey does not want you to read this notice; but it's for his own good. Lol.” a blond senior golden retriever is poking the top of his head over a restaurant table, upon which is lying a wrapped set of dish ware. the pup is inspecting for food. the senior blondie lays at someone’s feet, staying close by just in case some food were to drop.

Mikey clearly deserves a rating of 15/10, as his charming carb-deprived face and endearing senior pup status effortlessly surpass the original 13/10 assessment.
