Zahn, the Dog of the Day
Name: Zahn
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Male Breed: Lab, Pitbull Mix
Home: Birmingham, Alabama, USA
 
   We got Zahn last summer from our local shelter. We initially were just "going to look" at the dogs they had, but as soon as I saw her, I knew she was the dog for me! We've become very close; we spend lots of time taking walks and playing soccer, football and fetch. She's a great help around the house; she even helps carry in groceries, bring in the laundry, and clean up the house. She's even learning how to "say" different words! She tries to sound out "out" and even "Sarah", and the newest thing she has learned is to say "hungry"! It may sound odd, but if you heard it, you would be amazed!

    She's an amazing companion and friend, as well as a help around the house! Her face is the cutest too; she's the main subject for most of my photography. We sometimes call her a peanut butter lab. Although she's a dog on the outside, my family and I are quite sure that there's a person in there trying to get out! My sweet puppy was adopted from our local humane society just over a year ago; but I can't remember life without her. She is such a joy to my family and I. She is an amazing help around the house too! She helps my disabled mom by picking things up, carrying groceries, picking up her toys and even putting dishes in the sink! She's probably the smartest dog I have ever met! She loves to meet people. She especially loves to visit with my kids at the Lakeshore Foundation when I volunteer there, where she gets loads of love and affection. She's an amazing friend and an incredible joy!
