Zippy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Zippy
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Terrier
Home: Marlboro, New Jersey, USA
 
   Hi, my name is Zippy! I am a male Australian Terrier even though my humans thought I was a Yorkie for most of my life. As you can see, I am very very handsome. But, I had a tough little life so far ...

    My current humans saved me from death row where I was left after my first humans treated me very badly. I had two broken legs and no food in my tummy for a very long time. Now, my legs are fully healed and I have extra food in my tummy! I also have an older sister Yorkie named Mitzi who runs around the yard with me and helps me yell at the scary noises.

    I was told that I am an Australian Terrier and not a Yorkie which makes me very special and rare. The only problem now is that my humans never stop bothering me and picking me up and talking to me in a very high pitched funny voice. I understand that they love me so much, but a dog needs some air, you know?! Now I am a very lucky and happy dog with a second chance and a stylish new haircut! Watch out ladies, here I come!
