Maggie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maggie
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Cocker Spaniel Mix
Home: Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
 
   Maggie is a sweet little angel whom we adopted in 1996. We were told she was in a pound awaiting euthanasia when she broke out and ran to a farm. She eventually found her way to an animal rescue operation named Four Paws when she was a year old, where we were lucky enough to find her.

    Now we've had her for almost five years, and we can't imagine life without her. She loves attention, loves to bark at the mailman, and likes to play with her little sissy, Hannah (a husky mix). All of our friends consider her the greatest dog on the planet, and we certainly agree with them. Maggie's bag of tricks consists of sit, stay, lay down, spin, roll over, and she can stand on her hind legs forever, as long as we entice her with a spoonfull of whipped cream!

    She also has big brown eyes that look so deep into you that you're sure she understands every word you say. She follows us everywhere we go, even if we have a housefull of people, and just goes nuts when we get home from work every day.

    Maggie easily has 300 nicknames, but some of the main ones are Bub, Buh, Bird, BD (Bird Dog), Gee Bird, and The Geeps. We're thankful every single day that we have a sweet little pooch as wonderful as our Maggie!
