Pet's Story or Bio
The name is Hanks, Ernest Hanks! Ernest because that is what they named me at Boxer Rebound, the great boxer rescue group in Illinois that saved me. Hanks because I am BIG and Tom Hanks was in the movie Big. Get it? The name should be WINNER, because I am going to take this contest thing home!

Life wasn't always on my side. I got thrown away twice, but now, life is better than good. My mom can't resist my devastatingly handsome eyes, so I get anything I want, whenever I want. Ham, roast beef, eggs, you name it. And if I don't want to be left home alone, I just wag by boxer butt, let out a couple huffs, and away we go!

I like to take long walks on the beach with my Mom and Dad and sister Macie Beans. We live in Belize now, where Saga Humane Society is, which is really pretty and always nice and warm. We used to live in Chicago and to tell you the truth, it was just too darn cold for me.

How about a few thousand votes for the Hanks? I promise to donate all this fame and fortune to the dogs at Saga who aren't as lucky as me. As they say Go Big or Go Home.
