Iggy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Iggy
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dalmatian
Home: South San Jose, California, USA
 
   Iggy for starters has the most unique name for a Dalmatian. He is perfect in every way and does not have all the Dalmatian bad traits (hyper, not good with children...). He loves to play with his other puppy hearted friends at the dog park and at nights he cuddles with me as if he feels I am his security (or human electric blanket).

    Every day there is never a dull moment with him. He keeps me active and always puts a smile on my face.

    What makes my animal so special is that there is no other dog in the world that is like him. He is everything I have ever dreamed of. Good with people, good with other dogs and cats. He even gets along with my little mouse. He's a huge goof when it comes to playing and he does the funniest 180/360 jumps in the air.

    His story is that, I adopted him when he was one years old (his owner passed away). He was living at the time with the owner's sister (who already had two dogs). Iggy, being the great guy he is, was getting bullied by the other rambunctious/roughhousing dogs. So, my dad and I took him in to a home with only an older cat as the pet. The cat and Iggy got to know each other and then even started sleeping together. Soon the cat passed on, and we got a new kitten several months later. Oh, did Iggy love this new playful kitten or what. They became great buddies too. So, to this day we have our wonderful gift (Iggy), and me being eighteen and an only child, I don't know how I would have lived without him.

   Sincerely yours,

   Iggy the Dal and Lauren the Gal!
