Buddy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buddy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever, Border Collie Mix
Home: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
 
   This is my dog and best friend Buddy playing in his favorite spot - ivy patches. As best I can tell, he is a Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Three years ago I adopted him from a no-kill shelter in New Jersey and now he lives with me in Atlanta, Georgia. The story was that his owners didn't want the puppy so, in the middle of the night, they dumped him in one of the shelter's outdoor pens. He was a timid, scared dog who was afraid to be touched. Now, with lots of love and attention, he is the most friendly and special dog in the world. He is so smart that he actually does certain things that I never taught him to do (he learned to play dead in one day). He is truly an amazing dog... never barks, is always well behaved, and is playful at the appropriate times. For those reasons, he is my pet of the day every day.
