Buster, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buster
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Husky, Labrador Mix
Home: Reston, Virginia, USA
 
   Buster is a two-year-old mutt. We think he is half husky and half lab. Buster is the family hero! What makes Buster special is that he is a big hero in my family. One day, while my husband and I were out of town, my sister in law was watching Buster. While she was taking a nap, her two year old baby boy climbed over the fences intended to keep him in his room, and went past Buster and out the front door. Buster knew that is was wrong for the baby the be out in the street and he started barking like crazy. Well my sister in law woke up and got the baby before anything serious happened. Hooray for Buster the hero!

    Buster loves children. He is always patient and lays down for them to pet him. Buster is the most obedient dog I have ever had. His favorite things are chasing squirrels and ducks (don't tell him, but I don't think he will ever catch one), He also loves to swim all year long. Buster's favorite thing to do in the snow is to decapitate snow men. For some reasons he doesn't like the head part of the snow men. Buster is the best dog in the world.

    Buster loves to spend time at our cottage in Canada where he can swim, chase black snakes and ride in the boat. He and his cousin, a black lab names Prince, love to roll around in the dirt when they are up there, and then jump in the lake to cool off. We have a diving board into the lake and he loves to jump in after us off the diving board. Buster is the greatest dog I could have ever asked for. He licks my tears when I am sad and he gets up on two legs and dances when I am happy. He loves to snuggle with me in the morning and never wants to get out of bed. He is my best friend.
