Teddy Tu, the Dog of the Day
Name: Teddy Tu
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Silky Terrier
Home: Newark, California, USA
 
   Teddy was adopted from a breeder in British Columbia Canada. We drove 1,100 miles to choose him from a litter of three males so you can see that he was really a wanted puppy. Since he came to live with us and be our "son" he has not only given us a laugh every day, he has had a collateral duty as "nurse." About a two years after we adopted Teddy, I fell and fractured my ankle so badly, I was in the hospital for two weeks and then a long convalescence at our home. Teddy refused to leave the bed as long as I was in it. He would lay on my lap whenever I was sitting on the sofa with my foot propped up and did not want anyone to come too close. I am happy to report that Teddy and I are now walking together a mile and a quarter every day at our local lake and without his help, my long days and weeks would have been difficult indeed to deal with. His Daddy and I love him with all our hearts.
