Darien Starr, the Dog of the Day
Name: Darien Starr
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Italian Greyhound
Home: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
 
   This is Darien Starr, our Blue Fawn Italian Greyhound. Starr came to us when he was nine weeks old and just five pounds. He grew to be large for a "miniature" greyhound, being eighteen pounds and approximately eighteen inches tall. We call him Starr because he has a white triangle on the back of his neck that reminded us of a star. When Starr first entered our lives and home we also had three cats. The alpha cat quickly put Starr in his place and since that day he gives the cats their due respect!

    Starr is a mommy's boy and goes in his crate when I leave the house. He loves to play ball and can lob it onto the top of our entertainment center with his nose. My favorite thing is to watch him run. He prances with his front feet like a prize pony. Starr has a large vocabulary and can identify his "yellow ball" vs his "poof ball." He loves the grandkids because they play tug-of-war with him.
