Pepper, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pepper
Age: Five and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Home: Leipzig, Saxony, Germany
 
   I adopted Pepper three and a half years ago. She was in a rather bad condition as she came from an animal shelter. Her previous owner treated her really badly, beat her up and eventually left her and a second dog behind in an empty flat (he actually never returned). So the police had to get her out of there.

   When she arrived in the shelter, no one could touch her without her screaming her lungs out in fear to get beaten again. But as nobody wants a big, black (and therefore they think they're evil!) dog, so she waited another six to nine months for somebody to adopt her.

   But then I came along, took a look at all those wildly barking dogs in their kennels and finally spotted a calm, black dog in a corner with huge ears. No barking. No jumping against the door. She just took a look at me (and right into my soul I believe). How could I resist those eyes? I didn't have a chance. So I took her home and made her mine.

   Even though she experienced the human being so negatively, she loves everyone. And I mean everyone. She melts anybody's heart within seconds, longs for attention and just wants to cuddle. She has a huge will to please, which I find really remarkable considering her past.

   Pepper is the light, that brightened up my meanest depressions. There were times when I only got up for her sake. Pepper is not just Dog of the Day; but she is the dog of my life.
