Luka, the Dog of the Day
Name: Luka
Age: Eighteen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie Mix
Home: Vermont, USA
 
   Hi, I'm Luka and my parents say I'm pretty special. So do my friends, the local children who always ask my Mom if I can go out and play. I love to play with Mom and Dad, too. My favorite games are frisbee (the neighbors say I'm a natural), tag, skiing, hiking, agility and tricks. My many tricks include dancing (when I'm done I take a bow), back-up, rollover, beg, jump, lap, and everyone's favorite, bang! (play dead). I'm a very lucky dog. I was lost and very scared, carrying my chain with me when someone brought me to the Humane Society. It was scary there, too. A lot of dogs and people and noise. But they treated me really nice, especially my friend Lesli. I wasn't there long before my new parents came and took me home. I hope the other dogs were as lucky as I was. I sometimes visit the Shelter and perform tricks for their events. I just want to say there are so many wonderful dogs at shelters, just hoping for a chance to be like me. And us shelter dogs bring so much joy because we really appreciate having a new chance at life.
