Rusty, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rusty
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Smooth Fox Terrier
Home: Auckland, New Zealand
 
   Rusty is my best friend and his love is unconditional. When I went to the breeder to get a puppy it was love at first sight when I saw Rusty. He was only eight weeks old and so small and cute, I just wanted to hug him all the time. What joy and happiness he has brought to me and my family. Rusty is included in nearly everything we do and is a real member of our family. I am from Australia, and moved here to New Zealand a year ago. There was no second thoughts about Rusty not coming with us.

    What a big change for Rusty. He got quite worried when he saw all our things getting packed up. As Rusty had never been away from me, his worst time was being left with the carriers a day before the flight. Rusty must have thought I was giving him away. I felt so sad for him, but I knew we would be together again soon. Rusty and my cat Jedi travelled on the same flight as me and when my husband, son and I went to pick them up, Rusty just shook and cried with happiness so much, he wet himself (the cat was saucer eyed HA!).

    Rusty is one energized little dog. He's crazy about balls of every shape and size. His favorite is the basketball. He will have you kicking that ball for hours if he could.It's amazing to watch him go and fetch it after it is kicked.He just noses it back to you with such speed and accuracy. (He'd go great in a soccer team) Rusty and me are together all the time, as my husband and son work. He is great company, and I never feel alone. We think Rusty is one special little guy. Why don't you visit Rusty at his own home page and see what his thoughts are on US as a family.
