Minard, the Dog of the Day
Name: Minard
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane
Home: Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Minard is very special to us. He won the SPCA calender contest two years ago, we were proud of him. He has a very good personality. He loves kids and loves to give kisses. He loves to go for rides, so when he hears me spray my hair, he jumps off the couch and stands by the door. And of course he generally gets to go. He likes walks so every night we go for a walk for exercise. When we are out riding we carry his dish with us, which stays in the car for treats. We always have to stop at the Dairy Queen for a ice cream cone which we put in his dish. He looks forward to these treats. Everyone in our area knows him. When people are out walking on the street and we are on the porch, he goes out on the sidewalk for a pat and everyone calls him by name.

    We go for walks every night and Minard loves to have people stop and talk to him. He thinks he is a lap dog. I don't know if you knew that Danes sit on your lap. Minard just backs up and sit down on your lap if you are watching TV, or enjoying any other activity that involves sitting. Everyone in our little town know him, so when they see him the kid holler "Hi, Minard!"

    At a parade this summer, the people who were riding on the floats threw him lots of candy! Of course we gave it to kids that did not get much. Minard just gets attention wherever he goes - and he takes part in about everything we do.
