Brutus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Brutus
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Alaskan Malamute, Chow Chow
Home: Peoria, Illinois, USA
 
   We adopted Brutus from an animal shelter, weeks before he would have been put down. He is the sweetest and most well-behaved dog we have ever owned. He gets along beautifully with our four other dogs and he's polite with every new face that he meets. Although we've only had him for a few months now, we're thrilled to call him a part of our family.

    Brutus has a huge personality. At times, he is a bit moody, but overall he's playful, and surprisingly energetic, especially with a slight case of arthritis. He doesn't let it slow him down much. He's very loving and would like nothing more than to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. He knows how to sit, shake, and lay down. But prefers to do it only if he thinks there are treats involved. As far as our other dogs are concerned, he tends to be the more independent one. But as soon as they aren't around he turns into a big baby. We call him our "Big Fluffer."
