Sunshine, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sunshine
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Boxer
Home: Marietta, Georgia, USA
 
   We got Sunny after one of our dogs got run over. Our other dog Pepper was so sad, as we were, so we decided to get another dog. We got Sunny from a woman who was running a puppy mill. We just could not bear to leave her there in those horrible conditions because she was so fragile and had the sweetest little face. Sunny had a lot of problems when we first got her-she had a heart murmur and only weighed four pounds. Also-she would not eat or drink and had to be fed babyfood through a syringe. We feared that she would not make it but she did!!! Now Sunny is totally healthy and full of energy. She is so protective of her mommy and barks at big, bad things like plastic grocery bags!! She is one of the most energetic, playful and sweetest dogs in the world. She still takes time out of her busy schedule to stop and smell the flowers-or chew them up! Her favorite thing to do is greet guests with a big kiss right on the face. I really feel that her name is perfect - she has brought so much sunshine into our lives!
