George, the Dog of the Day
Name: George
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Male Breed: Labrador, Golden Retriever
Home: Derbyshire, England
 
   This is my dog George at aged four months, he's now eight months old but not very photogenic at the moment - through no fault of his own. He is a Chocolate Labrador crossed with a Golden Retriever. George loves life, he is a friendly, funny, loving and sometimes a very mischievous pup.

    His talents are rolling over when he thinks he is being told off, swimming, he's completely obsessed with catching tennis balls (should be a fielder in the England cricket team).

    He has one particular trick which he has always done which I think is quite clever; he will steal a sock from a pile of washing or a slipper from beside my bed and run off with it, tail wagging like mad, very full of himself, a minute later he will reappear without the sock or slipper and steal it's matching pair!! When I eventually find them they are always sat neatly side by side, paired up, strange but true. At night he'll hunt down with his favorite toy which is a foot high 'Tigger', he'll drag him to his bed, snuggle up with him and fall fast asleep snoring like a little pig. He's a delight to have around, an all round happy chappy.

    We wanted to honor George most because he is especially brave. I recently discovered that he has elbow and hip dysplasia. He is currently undergoing several Operations to help improve his quality of life. He never complains and always has a wag of his tail even when he has just been operated on!! He cheers everyone up with his fantastic loving nature.
