Leia, the Dog of the Day
Name: Leia
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Home: Texas, USA
 
   What I believe makes my dog special is that she's the most goofiest dog you could meet. Her tail is almost always wagging, she's learned some things pretty quickly (despite having to work on things still) and she's literally like my daughter. I get extremely defensive and protective over her sometimes.

    Another thing still amazes me. Before we had gotten her - like months before - I was feeling down and it got to the point where I felt like a complete five-year-old and wanted to cry my eyes out. My father walked into my room one day, and told me "If you really want a German Shepherd, you have to stay positive. Acknowledge the negativity, but push it away. It eventually dies because it has nothing to feed off of. God gave us this one gift to us, and that gift is to have the universe please you. Prove to the universe that you want this dog - picture what you want it to look like in your mind, in detail - and as long as your positive, it'll be yours."

    We then got Leia, and ever since Leia has been growing up, her markings have been showing more and settling into what she'll look like (since fur patterns change in this breed). I've been extremely amazed to find she looks more and more like exactly what I wanted my dog to look like. She is also how I wanted my dog to act and be. I didn't want the guard dog or the "leave me alone, I'm a loner" dog. I wanted the friendly, happy dog who may make mistakes but will constantly be happy to the point it rubs off on you. I honestly don't have that big of a bond with her quite yet, but I'm sure if I am positive enough, we'll be like two peas in a pod, night and day, yin and yang.

    This is why Leia, my German Shepherd, is so special to me. She makes me happy every day.
