Meet Murphy: Whitley Place’s Gentle Listener

At six years old, Murphy the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has already carved out a special place in the hearts of his family and community in Whitley Place. Belonging to Collins family, Murphy is more than just a pet—he’s a beloved companion whose presence brings warmth and quiet joy to everyone around him.

Murphy’s name may be simple, but his personality is anything but. Described as a very good listener, he’s known for his endearing habit of tilting his head back and forth as if truly taking in every word spoken to him. It’s this gentle attentiveness that makes him such a charming member of the family.

While Murphy’s loyalty and affection stand out the most, he also has a playful side. He loves to chase bugs—a quirky pastime that never fails to amuse those around him. Above all, Murphy just wants to be with his family. Whether it’s curling up at their feet or following them from room to room, he thrives on connection and companionship.

So the next time you see this sweet pup walking the trails, stop and say hi!
