This is Otis. He just had his very first vet appointment. Even got to take a picture like it was his first day of school. 12/10 we're proud of you, Otis
a tiny brown dachshund puppy with tan a snoot and eyebrows, and adorably wrinkly ankles sits on a black countertop. next to him is a chalk sign that reads, "My first visit at Vets 4 Paws in Irvine." the sign indicates the wide-eyed puppy's name is Otis, he is 2.2 kilograms, and he's 10 weeks old.
