Rebel, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rebel
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Irvine, California, USA
 
   Rebel is a true Heinz-57 variety - not even his vet knows what breed he is. He came to me as a stray puppy who I think ran away because he had been tied up (there was a mark around his neck). It took me weeks to leash train him. I had to walk backwards and coax him to me but he finally got the hang it (too well I might add). Sometimes my best friend and sometimes trouble with a capital T - I couldn't imagine my life without him. People often make fun of his ears because they tend to go in different directions all the time. But that just makes him more approachable and they are God's gift to softness - they just beg to be rubbed and scratched. Rebel's favorite thing in the whole world (besides me) is a tennis ball. Whether at the park or in the living room, he tries to coax anyone he can into throwing it for him. He makes me laugh at the oddest times. One morning I woke up and looked across the bed and he had quietly brought all his toys in one at a time and laid them beside me and he was just sitting there with his ears cocked waiting for me to get up and play! The expression on his face was priceless and I got up laughing. It was a great way to start the day.
