Munson is a 6-month-old pittie. He absolutely loves toys, even more than he loves treats. As soon as his big ears hear a squeaker, they perk up and flop around as he tries to catch it. He loves tug-of-war but will gently drop the toy on command. He does well with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats. To meet Munson, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333.
