Abby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Abby
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: South Bend, Indiana, USA
 
   I have a two and a half year old golden retriever named Abby. She, along with the rest of her family (Kevin and Ellen) live in South Bend, Indiana. Abby is the joy of our lives and is currently being trained to become part of a pet therapy program. Abby began amazing us right from the beginning. She was potty trained by eleven weeks old, and learned all basic commands by fourteen weeks of age. I believe that Abby literally understands everything that's said to her. We never have to repeat a command twice, and she listens so carefully to other people's conversations, she usually can figure out what's being talked about and act accordingly (just giving her two-cents worth, I'm sure)! She truly is a marvelous dog and we don't know what we'd do without her.
