Wilbur Travis Ryan
Ambassador of Happiness
Wilbur is usually the first to greet customers, unless it's nap time. He’s always happy to roll over and show off his belly, hoping someone will stop for a rub. His favorite things include treats, long naps, and short walks where he can investigate all the latest neighborhood smells. Even though he still lives with his parents, he insists it's only because he's just a baby. Wilbur calls New Hartford home, where he lives with his mom, dad, and three kids. He also has a sibling, Elsa, who is pretty great most of the time. That is, until she steals his toys or tries to eat his food.
