Ares, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ares
Age: Deceased, Eleven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Swedish Lapphund
Home: Dombås, Norway
 
   As a young pup Ares was kind of wild, but as an eleven-year-old wise man he rules his world with his gaze. He is kind and caring and loves to be cuddled. When it is time for his daily walks he thinks he is a young pup again and barks out loud - here I come, but his feet are not as young as his mind anymore.

    Recently, Ares passed away.

    We miss him a lot, but he could not keep up the pace. Ares was very intelligent. He kind of always understood what we were going to do before we did it. The Lapphunds were originally used as reindeer herders, but the only thing Ares herded was cars and people. Ares favorite activities was taking a walk. In the winter we used to go cross country skiing with him. He never got tired when he was young, as he got older he wanted to tag along, but his body couldn't make it. Ares was our best friend for more than eleven years. Ares' best friend was Dennis, who was Dog of The Day for St. Patrick's day this year.
