English, the Dog of the Day
Name: English
Age: Two years old

   English (Engo) became a part of our family this last November. We lost three of our dogs in the past two years and now with only one dog, a thirteen-year-old Siberian husky, it was very lonely but I wasn't ready for another dog so we decided to foster. Engo was very nervous and skinny at first but by the end of his first day with us he was sleeping on my lap and within two days we knew he had found his forever home. I didn't think any dog could fill my heart with the love I had for my dog Barnyard who passed away less than a year ago but Engo has happily proven me wrong.

    English is very well behaved and extremely smart. He is known for being very "handsy" he uses his paws like a human and has opened doors. He loves his new sister but respects her space as she is old and not so playful but since he loves other dogs, he plays with his best friend the neighbor. Jack is a huge lab mix and when I am out with him and Jacks dad is out as well we let Engo hop the fence to play with him and when I say to come back he hopes back over. He also loves the snow just as much as my huskies did. We have become best friends. He follows me everywhere and is always laying on or next to me. I've never had a dog that was protective but English is extremely protective of me and our home. He loves to play with his dad they can play rough but as soon as he is told "this is love" he calms right back down for rubs and pets. He sleeps in bed with us not at the foot like most dogs but directly between us up near our heads and puts his head on any body part of mine he can find. He wakes me up no later than 9:04 a.m. for breakfast every morning. There are so many things that make Engo so special but I think the main reason is despite having been abused and locked in an attic before us, he still trusts us and loves us as much as we love him.
