Tinker of Wrigleyville, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tinker of Wrigleyville
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Wire Hair Fox Terrier
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   Tinker is special because he loves people - he will watch them park their car and wait to greet them. He recognizes his buddies (people) and runs to them as though they are his owner. He loves to go to pet stores where he can enter and shop. He invites himself behind the counter to get a treat. He is incredibly intelligent, has a great memory, is spoken to always so he has a great vocabulary. Although he was named after an all-time great Chicago Cub baseball player Joe Tinker, shortstop, he cannot catch a ball for anything - however, his sport is challenging big dogs (he is totally unsuccessful in his endeavors but he tries - it makes me crazy). He struts after being groomed, he is proud and self sure and he has the face and looks of a muppet but the heart and mind set of a lion. Most importantly, he keeps me company, he makes me laugh and he loves me.
