DingDing, the Dog of the Day
Name: DingDing
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Tibetan Spaniel mix
Home: Shanghai, China
 
   DingDing is a very sweet dog. My daddy bought him as a puppy in YuNan province, which is 2000 miles away from Shanghai. Airlines didn't accept pets in 1995, so my daddy a took three-day train journey to bring him back. He is very special.

    DingDing is picky about food and drink. He doesn't like tap water because of the chlorine smell. He likes juicy fruits, noodles, fish and microwaved sweet potatoes, which are not dog food at all! DingDing is a good guard dog. Whenever strangers come close to our door, he will bark and try to scare them away. One time, about two years ago, we were not at home. Our neighbors heard DingDing barking and went out to find a burglar was trying to pry the door open. They were able to scare the burglar away, thanks to his warning. We rewarded DingDing a big sweet potato.
