Droopy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Droopy
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Lab, Beagle Cross
Home: Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA
 
   Droopy is not really a pet, he's been classified by his family as part human. He's very loving and warm and always loves giving "Droopy hugs." He's lived with us for seven years now, the first two years of his life he was abused by being tied outside with little food and water. His current family felt so bad for him, they convinced his old owners to give him to them, so they brought him home and nurtured him back to health. He's giving back that love 100-fold and now is quite the happy puppy.

    Droopy loves all of his stuffed animals and gets grumpy if anyone but him plays with them. But then again it's hard to call him grumpy when his tail is wagging happily while he growls softly at you for touching his toys. One of his toys is his little "baby" and he cleans and takes care of it, it's quite cute. He does this with any other animals, I once had a guinea pig who had babies, he had to go in and check on the babies every night before going to bed to make sure they were ok.

    Droopy has made our life better in every way possible - we only hope we can continue to return that love to him.
