About Us
Buster, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buster
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Pug
Home: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
 
   Buster is eight - he's a pug. When he was two - he was rescued from a puppy mill in Owen County Indiana. He'd never been out of his cage, never been handled, never eaten from a bowl, etc. etc. etc. - to say nothing of the housebreaking issue. When I first brought him home, he couldn't sit still - he just kept circling through the house. He was always on the wrong side of the door when it opened, had to learn to eat from bowl - that took a loong time (years). He's so sweet and loving - everyone is drawn to him because he is so non-threatening. People who are normally afraid of dogs feel comfortable with Buster. I believe that due to his neglect in his "formative years," there are many "instincts" that weren't developed. We just call him the special needs member of the family - and oh yes - he snores!
