Melampo Amigo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Melampo Amigo
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Newfoundland Dog
Home: Delisle, Saskatchewan, Canada
 
   My dog's full name is Melampo Amigo, she is very lovable and friendly. She loves to swim in the small creek by our farm in Delisle, Saskatchewan. Amigo loves all people. When we have company she will not let them get away without petting her. When she wishes to be petted she will lean against you. She weighs 140 pounds, so you are well aware that she wishes to be petted. She can shake a paw, shake her other paw, Sit, Roll over, and lie down. If we give her a very special treat (eg. homemade Liver treats), she will do all her tricks at once in order to obtain the treat. The Newfoundland Dog is sometimes referred to as the gentle giant. They do earn the title. They are also rescue dogs. When the children were small, we took them swimming in river. Amigo would always try to pull them out. She has a very gentle mouth and can pull you without hurting your arm.
