Tazia, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tazia
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Female Breed: Lab, Pit Bull Mix
Home: Rockford, Illinois, USA
 
   This is Tazia (pronounced Tay-sha). "Tazia-Dog" as I call her, is a very special part of our family. Tazia was given to us as a eight week old puppy and with patience, love and understanding, she has grown up to be one of the best companions for my husband and I. She loves to "go for coffee" every Saturday morning with her "Dad" at the coffee shop and riding is his truck is just one of her favorite things. She has a tail that never stops- but she's an intimidating watch dog. We have learned a lot over the years from the pets we've owned, and last July we realized how truly committed pets can be. Last summer we lost one of our "dear friends" Niki-when she was hit by a car. We later found evidence that Tazia went to the side of the road where her "sister" Niki was, and sat by her until Niki gathered the strength to stagger home, where, unfortunately, she died the next day. Pets are a great source of comfort and companionship for us and apparently, each other, too!
