Emperor Mogwai Moonpie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Emperor Mogwai Moonpie
Age: Two year old
Gender: Male Breed: Pekingese
Home: Texas, USA
 
   I was really sad over a breakup, and I wanted my own dog for such a long time, so my dad went with me to pick out a puppy. I am insanely obsessed with Pekingese, I must have some strange former life connection with them... There were three puppies there, and I left with my Mogwai. I remember that day so well, how this four pound puppy had a 400-pound personality, he was just so goofy that he made me smile so big it hurt. I precede his name with Emperor, because Peke's were the dogs of emperors in China, and were considered sacred. His name is Mogwai because he looks just like the Mogwai from the "Gremlins" movie, and one of his eyes has a blue crescent in it, that's how he got the middle name Moonpie. I nominate him as dog of not just the day, but of the Millennium, because almost two years later his huge personality still entertains me no end, makes me crack up laughing, and love him so unconditionally. He's truly a gift and I am his proud servant ; )
