Pumpkin, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pumpkin
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Dog
Home: Mililani, Oahu, Hawaii, USA
 
   Pumpkin is a very special dog and also a very lucky one! We were living in California, in a house next to a lake. At that time, Pumpkin wasn't our dog but our neighbors! Our neighbors paid no attention to him, though, and because he was a puppy that's exactly what he needed! So he was over at our house almost all the time. After a while the only reason he even went home was to eat, but soon they stopped feeding him - pretty much abandoning him. So we fed him and he soon was at our house all the time. About a month later our neighbors moved... left a bowl and a bag of food on the porch... no words said... never to return.

    Ever since then Pumpkin has been with us. We brought him all the way from California to Hawaii and are happy we made the decision to do so. We love him so much and could not even imagine life without his interesting personality and his strange behavior. He has been through two surgeries on his leg recently and still keeps up his hyper ways.. he thinks he's small... he thinks he scary... but we all know the truth! He has a distinct personality all his own! He is the most sweetest and caring dog I have ever seen and my whole family just loves him to death :) He is part of our family now.. he even got to go visit Santa!
