Austin, the Dog of the Day
Name: Austin
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male Breed: Akita, Shepherd Mix
Home: Arizona, USA
 
   My sister was home and outside with the neighbors when she saw three little puppies running around the street. A car was coming so she ran out and distracted two of them into following her into our yard and chased the other to a yard across the street. The two that had followed her came into the house with her and the other was picked up by the neighbors. There was no way our mom would let us keep two large breed puppies. I was off with my best friend when my sister paged me. We came back to my house and my best friends mom fell in love with one of the puppies, so they took that one home and named it JC. The one left we played with all night until my dad came home. We showed him the dog and he loved it right away. My mom was at work all night and when she came home she saw the puppy and dint want to keep it. Somehow my dad talked her into it and we were allowed to keep him if no owners were found. We posted ads and no one called.

    This summer I took Austin to puppy school and he graduated with out any mistakes on the final test. The other puppies had to try it a few times before passing but Austin knew what he was doing. Austin is one of the cutest, most well behaved puppies I have ever met. I love him to death!
