Poco, the Dog of the Day
Name: Poco
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dalmatian
Home: Colorado, USA
 
   When Poco moved to Colorado from Texas she felt like she had come to "dog heaven." Poco loves to hike the high country, and after a long hike she enjoys swimming in the cool streams, rivers and lakes of Colorado. In the winter she loves to go cross-country skiing, and especially loves to run in the refreshingly cold snow. Rarely does Poco stay home alone. With her owners on opposite work schedules, she is sure to always be with one or the other. They often bring Poco to work with them, and she always travels with them (even on their honeymoon when they went to Taos, New Mexico and stayed in a delightful, dog-loving B&B). Poco is unusual for her breed because she has two blue eyes and only a few spots. When people stop her owners on the street and ask "What happened to her spots?," her owners usually reply, "She's the 102nd Dalmatian, they ran out of spots when they got to her!" Not only does that garner some laughs, but it earns lots of admiration for this unusual Dalmatian.
