Bossy Pants
For pups who have something to say about everything — and aren’t even a little bit sorry about it.
Murphy is the inspiration
for the Bossy Pants Profile.
Bossy Pants have plenty of opinions.
And they’re not afraid to share them.
Your dog has opinions. About dinner. About the neighbor. About you, and whether you’re handling things correctly. They’re not wrong. They’re just very, very clear about it.
Vocal. Not because they’re anxious. Because they have something to say.

Meet Murphy
The Original Bossy Pants
From an early age, Murphy didn’t leave much mystery about who he was going to be. His earliest photos? Mouth open, mid-bark.
Murphy has opinions about dinner, the neighbor’s schedule, and the squirrel situation across the street. He communicates them clearly, at a volume that leaves little room for misinterpretation.
For a long time, his mama Kimberly Jo noticed the bark first. Over time, it became clear: Murphy wasn’t being difficult. He was communicating.
Extroverted by nature, he has never met a stranger—only future friends to boss around.
He just really needs you to know about the squirrel.
