Mikey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Mikey
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Miniature Poodle
Home: Texas, USA
 
   Mikey is a miniature poodle. He is not like a normal dog - he skips on his hind legs. He does this because when we found him he had a broken leg and it was too late to heal his leg properly so we just tried to fix it as best as we could. Now he skips when he gets really excited or runs real fast. One time he almost went over and flipped because he was really excited. My dog also has another human characteristic. He gets really excited when we jingle the keys and say "Let's go Mikey, let's go bye-bye." He goes crazy and starts barking and jumping really high for his size. Then we open door and he runs so we have to carry him and he jumps in the car and - get this - he actually knows how to put down the window. I guess he saw me do it one time and know he presses it with his paw by scratching it really fast so it can go down and he could put his head out. I love my dog and I feel that he is as human as me because of what I see him do. He's the best dog ever in my eyes.
