Echo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Echo
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd, Blue Heeler mix
Home: Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA
 
   Echo is special because he is so unusual looking, plus he is a great companion and protector, he is also a champion in frisbee fetching. Oh, gosh, there are so many things about him! I guess the most special thing is when he was two I was working at my father-in-law's garage where some of the local police officers would come by and visit, and of course I would take Echo to work with me. One of the captains of Narcotics came in and I was showing him how Echo knew the difference in certain items like ball, frisbee and grease rags. I would tell Echo which item I wanted to play with and he would find it for me. The officer said "D**n that dog knows English!" I told him "No wonder, he has to listen to me 24 seven." Well, to say the least, he gets on the phone and tells them to make him out a check for $5,000 - he found another drug dog. I told him he was crazy be like selling one of my children. I accused him of wanting him for himself! lol

    My husband and I also have a towing business. We tow for the City and all the officers know his name but has no idea what our name is of course. He is named after their district. When we leave a scene it's "Bye, Echo!" - they never acknowledge us. Echo is also the best companion I have ever had. too bad he can't run for some kind of office if that tells you what kind of personality he has. I am sure he could get elected : ) I mean just look at that face!
