The Denson Farm in Iron Mountain, Michigan, is home to 35 chickens, three horses, four dogs, two barn cats, and one conure. They are also a registered foster dog home. Serena Denson estimates the number of foster dogs to be “too many to count.” While she loves fostering dogs and puppies, her husband rolls his eyes each time she mentions a new batch of foster puppies. But he always melts.

The foster puppies chase him around the yard as he tosses stray fallen branches. It is easy to see why having so many pups chasing him around the farm is annoying. He can barely move without tiny balls of energy weaving in and out between his legs. Every chore means chase time for them. The little dogs know nothing at that age beyond running, jumping, biting, and playing.
He might be annoyed, but watch his feet. He is careful not to step on any rambunctious, moving trip hazards. After the work is done, it is playtime. He might think no one is looking. Getting down on the ground, he plays with the foster puppies as if he enjoys them. While he is rolling on the ground playing with the puppies, he has a whole vocabulary of baby talk that he unleashes on them.
Being an older dog on Denson Farm means babysitting duty. Watching the family dogs interact as they play with the foster puppies is heartwarming.
As if they don’t have enough animals on the farm, the Densons occasionally bring shelter dogs home for weekend romps. The dogs run around the farm with the family pets and have a grand time.
He might pretend to be grumpy, but he has the biggest heart.
