Comet, the Dog of the Day
Name: Comet
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Chatham, New Jersey, USA
 
   Comet is the best dog that anyone could ask for. She has lived with us for seven years this November and she has done nothing but get sweeter and more adorable. She has come with us to Massachusetts and to friends' houses, she is a great traveller and gets along with literally anyone. She loves children and lives to entertain them - we have put on numerous impromptu shows and childrens' parties and she never ceases to amaze them with her soft ears, ability to jump over them and loving disposition.

    Comet was abused for the first three months of her life, but she has really come though shining. Almost all of that abuse is not noticeable at all, except for her fear of water. Her previous owners are suspected of hosing her down and holding her head underwater when she was "bad." She was then put into the kennel and we adopted her in November of 1992. Since we got her, she has had a few close brushes- she broke her leg at four months old, she has swallowed chicken bones on six occasions, has eaten about five pounds of chocolate throughout her life, and almost swallowed a razor blade on one occasion. But she lived (which is what I find to be the miracle about her :)

    Comet still scavenges in the garbage for coffee grinds (her favorite treat), she is lethal when it comes to her killer claws, and she has gotten in trouble in the past week more times than you can count on your fingers, toes and paws, but she is still a loved member of the family and she always will be. She even has her own website - Comet's World.
