Scout, the Dog of the Day
Name: Scout
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Cairn Terrier mix
Home: Canton, Georgia, USA
 
   Scout is not only a rescue dog that came from horrible conditions in a trailer park, he is also the boss of two great danes and a golden retriever mix. He only weighs in at nineteen pounds - but you should see the way the other dogs get in line when he is around. We adopted Scout almost four years ago from a rescue group in the Atlanta area. He immediately came down with kennel cough and had to be quarantined in the basement - we were so worried the little guy wouldn't make it that we were hesitant to introduce him to the rest of the family, and we needed to keep them from getting it, too. Thanks to a great vet, he pulled through, and is now the boss of us all!

    Scout was named for the character in "To Kill a Mockingbird" however, he lives up to his name in a lot of other ways. Occasionally when he escapes the fence he "scouts" around the neighboring yard for cats, birds and any other critters that shouldn't be around.
