Troy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Troy
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog,
American Red Heeler
Home: Houston, Texas, USA
 
   Although we have only had Troy for a few short months, he has easily become one of the best pets we have ever owned. We adopted him from the SPCA in August of 2011. He didn't show a lot of interest in the people and shied away in the corner of his cage, but once we approached him and looked into each others eyes, we knew he had to come home with us.

    Troy is such a spirited dog and he is absolutely amazing! From the moment we got him, he made himself right at home and chose his bed. (Even though it was our Yorkshire Terrier's bed, he still tried to fit in it!) He got along so easily with our smaller dog, Max and became his instant big brother in other words.

    Troy is so energetic and loves to play with his toy balls. He has no shame in bringing the ball to you every minute of every day! Sometimes I think he dreams about playing catch because he loves his toys so much! He runs so fast to catch the balls and if it's a good throw, he might even catch it mid air! He is such a smart dog and quickly learned every trick he knows in two days! His favorite trick would have to be Speak because he gets a treat every time. He is super cute and playful! He loves his family so much and always wants to be by their sides. He follows us around the house and likes to place his head on our knees so he can get a nose rub! He is angelic, gorgeous, and completely adorable in every way possible! He guards the house, his family, and even his little brother, Max! He is such a special dog to us and all of our friends can never say enough about him. And even though he is getting older, he never once pretends he is any older than a new pup. We like to think that he is an inspiration to older dogs because of his high energy! He's been around for awhile now but even then the balls are never too high for him to catch! We love Troy so much and we are positive that he loves us as well!
