Thomas, the Dog of the Day
Name: Thomas
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie, Golden Retriever
Home: Columbus, Ohio, USA
 
   This is Thomas, a Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix. He is very smart, lovable, and loyal. I got him from a woman who rescues dogs from kill shelters. He was scheduled to die the day she saved him! I met him when he was five months old. He jumped in my car right away, and I fell in love with him! He can sit, shake (both paws), lay down, roll over, find his bone, and many other amazing tricks. I also have a hamster that he loves! When I say, "Where's the hamster?" He runs upstairs to look in its cage.

    Thomas is so friendly, but if he senses danger, he knows when to bark. He keeps me safe and happy! He makes me laugh a lot too!

    Whenever I tell him I'm going to take his picture, he sits, smiles, and waits. Sometimes I think he's a human because of all the things he understands. Outside, he chases cats and bunnies, but never can catch them. One time, a cat actually turned around and stared at him. Thomas didn't know what to do! The cat scratched him on the nose, and he turned around and walked home with his head down. I think he felt defeated. He sleeps under the bed every night, and doesn't wake up until I get out of bed. I love Thomas with all my heart. I don't know what I would do without this amazing companion!
