Dog-tour Murphy (née Jam), aka Murph, alias Sherman Tenderman, was born in Lula, Georgia to parents Walt and Juniper. He rose to international fame in 2023 when he revealed his controversial “belly button” (umbilical hernia) during his Dogist profile. 

“We knew he was special as soon as we saw that his hair had a center-part.” His mother said. “All I wanted was a dog that had eyebrows. The belly button was just a bonus.”

Murphy (and his eyebrows) have inspired many original songs, including the unreleased hit, “Smellebrate Good Times”, and Gregorian-style chant “Leg Meat”. His furst book “Murphy is Murphect (Just the Way He Is)” will be released in December 2024.

His skills include:

• Advanced cuddling

• Full-body wagging

• High-fiving

• High-intensity chewing

• Low-intensity chewing

• Howling

• Invasive intimacy chaperoning

• Snowflake catching

Murphy remains at large in Chew York City and Massachewsetts, continuing his mission to make the world a soft and tender place.
