Shadow, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shadow
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Mix
Home: Morgan County, Alabama, USA
 
   Shadow was purchased from the pound for my birthday. He was terrified of everything but he followed me around like my shadow (Hence his name). When my son would come to visit he was always excited. When my husband came home he'd jump for joy. He was a runner. When he'd get a chance to get out of the gate he'd be gone. But if you chased after him he'd go blindly away, but if you sat on the ground he would come to you to make sure you weren't hurt. We went through obedience school and he did well as long as the leash is on him. Without it, he still runs.

    When my husband retired Shadow became his dog. But he has recently passed away. Shadow roams the house a lot trying to find my husband but he doesn't stop loving my daughter and I. He lays beside us when we are upset or not feeling well and greets us excitingly when we return. Even though I believe he could still be a runner, twice the side gate has been left open where he could escape and he just lets us know it is opened. He is special, he is family.
