Pharlap, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pharlap
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepherd / Husky / Malamute Mix
Home: Arkansas, USA
 
   Pharlap is the world's most beautiful mutt... well, at least that is my opinion. He's a very social boy, and loves everybody/ everything that he meets, including cats, other dogs, people, kids...etc. He loves to give kisses. He captures the heart of everyone he meets. He also loves to eat, but we have to limit that for him, since he just doesn't know when to stop. Pharlap is going to be a very big boy when he "grows up"....at seven months he is already 75 pounds! He's already quite the escape artist, so after a few fence renovations my yard is starting to look like a military compound. He lives with his "people parents", and his "uncle" Scarf, a German Shepherd, his "cousin" Chewey, also a German Shepherd (who's foot you can see in the right side of the picture), and his kitties, Lucky, Buddy, and Fram.

    Pharlap came to live with us when he was only six weeks old. He had originally been adopted by some girls heading off to college when he was only five weeks old. Somewhere along the way, they realized they couldn't have a huge dog living in the dorm with them, and unloaded him on an OTR driver at a truck stop. He, of course couldn't keep the puppy either. We were returning home from an out-of-state trip, and stopped at a McDonald's to grab a bite to eat, and the truck driver was sitting outside feeding the little guy a hamburger. He was so tiny and so sweet... we immediately fell in love... and we just so happened to have our pet carrier with us. The rest is history!
