Bugsy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bugsy
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Beagle, Blue Heeler mix
Home: Tasmania, Australia
 
   My dog's name is Bugsy, he is a Beagle/Blue Heeler mix. Bugsy is special because I have grown up with him practically my whole life and I could not bear to lose him. He is the most cutest dog, but then I am pretty biased, but I have a right to be, don't you all think so?

    Bugsy doesn't really like to play with me, only to chase after tennis balls. He is quite friendly with other dogs, but if they start to get aggressive with him and fight with him, he won't run away, he'll defend himself! He's very protective of his food, not with people, just if another dog tries to take his food away, he'll get nasty. The tricks I have taught him include: sit, stay, come, wait, high ten, shake, drop, roll and beg. He is sooo cute when he does his tricks. I love to show his intelligence off to people.

    His favorite things to do are eat, sleep and go for walks! He loves the beach. Usually, he doesn't like to cuddle, but he will come and sit near me and loves to be patted. He stands over me and protects me when other dogs are around. You should see him, when he gets jealous if I pat another dog! He will cry and whine and eventually growl and push the other dog away. But all in all, he's a great dog and I love everything about him!
