Katie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Katie
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd
Home: Newfoundland, Canada
 
   Katie is certainly worthy of the title Man's Best Friend. She possesses a disposition closer to that of a pussy cat than a guard dog. Her main qualities are her fun loving, adorable nature and her desire for loads of attention and affection. Katie loves a game of fetch in the back yard, a rompe through the woods, or simply curling up by her owners' feet and chewing her favorite bone.

    Katie was a life-long dream of my wife. When we were married she asked only one thing, that I buy her the German Shepherd she always wanted. I had a real fear of large dogs, shepherds in particular! Eventually the pressure was too great to resist, and about a year after we were married I gave in and purchased the dog. I did, however, refuse to accompany my wife to the airport to pick up the dog.

    When my wife arrived home, she placed this beautiful puppy in my arms and I was defenseless. Since that day we have been best friends and constant companions. The only time we are apart is when I am at work. Katie is a very gentle dog who is excellent with children and people who are intellectually challenged. She loves going for a romp through the woods. But most of all she just enjoys spending quality time with her dad!
