Sophia the Terrier/Labrador mix, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sophia
Age: Twelve years old
Gender: Female Breed: Terrier/Labrador mix
Home: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
 
   Meet Sophia Josephine Hunter, our terrier lab mix. Sophie is very smart, loyal, protective and loving. She is an amazing communicator with her facial expressions and body language. She was found as a stray at about 22 weeks old in the dead of winter. She was scared and starving. I was the only person she would go to without being bribed with food. She protected me from imagined danger before I decided to take her. She chose, and rescued, me.

     She is so silly and does not like me talking on the phone because she is not getting any attention so she barks so I can't hear and I get off the phone. If I tell her something she doesn't want to hear (like I'm leaving for a while) she will turn her head and not look at me. For years she wouldn't let me take her picture, she would turn her head and run away. I was never sure if she was in the witness protection program or if she was Amish.

     Sophie sleeps at my feet all night every night and if I'm nervous or anxious, she goes into hyper protect mode. She loves to get kisses on the cheeks so when you kiss one she turns her head for you to kiss the other. She loves kids so much that she shakes from head to toe when she sees one, but a lot of kids are afraid of her, so she doesn't get to be around them much. She thinks she is too good for tricks, she will only do a trick once or twice then when I try to get her to do them again she looks at me like I'm nuts. I love her!
