Speckles, the Dog of the Day
Name: Speckles
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dalmatian
Home: Millheim, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   I got Speckles as a puppy. I got to go over to my mom's friend's house and I saw the puppies. I had to convince my dad to let me get a puppy. This took a lot of begging. I wanted a puppy so bad. My dad finally gave in. Then I had to pick a puppy. All the puppies were beautiful. Then I saw Speckles. I could tell she was the puppy I wanted because she had three dots that formed a little triangle on her head. I thought that was unique and I just had to have her. Then I had to pick a name for her. I didn't know what to name her. Everyone told me Spot. I thought, no, she needs a girl's name. So I named her Speckles.

    Speckles is my first puppy. My parents had a dog but I wanted my own dog. Speckles is special because she is the most loveable dog. She knows when your having a bad day or when you feel like crying. She always snuggles up to you when you're upset. It's like she is there to comfort you. She always wants attention too. If you ignore her, she'll walk up to your arm and stick her head under your arm and move your arm until you pet her. Everything about Speckles is special to me so it's really hard to say what makes her special. She is a beautiful dog and I'm glad that I picked her out.
