Hershey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Hershey
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Terrier, Beagle Mix
Home: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA
 
   Hi, I would like to nominate my best friend, Hershey. Hershey is a three-year-old terrier mix, who lives in Winston-Salem, NC. Hershey is the best friend anyone could ever want. We adopted her almost two years ago from an animal shelter near our home. She was very playful and I thought "boy this one is going to be a handful!!!!" But as soon as she jumped in the car she became the sweetest little dog in the world. She sat very still and didn't make a sound. We took her straight to the pet shop to pick up some toys and a few other items. She soon won my heart and we bonded quickly.

    Hershey and I were alone one day in the apartment when someone banged on the door very hard. Not knowing who might be on the other side I was slow to answer it. All of a sudden the door was kicked open and there stood a huge man. Well little miss Hershey sprang into action. She started growling and started to run toward the man. She sure did scare him! He took off running! Good luck was on his side because the door shut back just as Hershey got to it. I'm very thankful that she was with me that day. Who knows, she might even have saved my life! I love my little Hershey, and I tell her so every single day!
