Osker, the Dog of the Day
Name: Osker
Age: Five and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Long Haired Dachshund
Home: Florida, USA
 
   Osker is a very special wiener dog. He is very playful, extremely intelligent and has a very unique personality. Contrary to other small dogs, he does not bark unnecessarily -- only when someone comes to the door. Then once the person comes in, he runs to get his ball to play. He is obsessed with his ball and plays games with it on his own using a blanket or a stuffed toy. He's so obedient and smart that people think he is human!!

    One of the things that makes Osker a unique pet is that he goes shopping with me in his pet stroller and can "shop till I drop" - most times for five or more hours at a time. He has never had an accident in any store (I take him out to do his business before we begin shopping). When we are shopping, people cannot believe that he is so well behaved - he does not mutter a peep - he either sleeps or people watches. He seems to just enjoy being with his mom. I have never met another dachshund or any other dog like Osker. That's not just from my point of view, but friends and people we met tell me that too all the time!!
