The Early Days with Hobbs and Brutus<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Johnson first introduced Hobbs and his brother Brutus to the world in 2015, sharing the story of their adoption. \u201cWe just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family,\u201d Johnson wrote, revealing the playful moment when the two puppies jumped into the pool.
