Brutus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Brutus
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Breed: West Highland White Terrier
Home: Greenwood, Indiana, USA
 
   Brutus deserves to be the Pet of the Day because he leads a "dog's life." The second in a litter of three males, Brutie was delivered on the family room couch, which I had draped with old quilts. He sleeps in bed like a person with his head on the pillow and his body under the covers. Sometimes he even sits on a chair with his chin on the table while we eat. (What would company think?) When I load the dishwasher, he hops up on the door to lick the dirty dishes. We knew we could only keep one pup out of the three in the litter and it was apparent from the start which one that would be because he and his mother Ginger shared a special bond. He would lay across her neck when he slept while the others stayed nestled near her tummy. She reciprocated by licking him more than the others.

    Brutus has a winning personality and is very loving. Everyone says there will never be another dog like him. He likes to hunt, is a great protector, and takes his post as the "white sentinel" on the deck every morning at 5 a.m. Not only is Brutus the Pet of the Day, he is the Pet of the Century!
