Boris, the Dog of the Day
Name: Boris
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Italian Greyhound
Home: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
 
   Boris came to live with me in May at the mature age of nine. Triangle Italian Greyhound Rescue made me his fourth Mommy. I have been so happy to add him to the menagerie that includes, brother cat Buddy, and three other cats, and three fish. Here he is in his Halloween costume!

    His obedience training was very rusty in a breed that can be a bit high strung so we've been working on it to the point where he now heels while walking off-leash and responds to many more commands, almost always without hesitation! He loves a good walk, prefers a run, loves a bath and any treats. He's very good around his kitty brothers and never met a stranger. He's a very big boy (20 pounds) in a breed that's toy class (5-15 pounds). And after having many bad teeth removed, his health is stellar! He lives to socialize and is only a little hesitant around very large dogs. He dances and sometimes will pirouette up to four times around for a teeny greenie and he can leap straight up in the air as well as any Jack Russell. I love him very, very much. He's added so much fun to my daily walks.
