Dakota, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dakota
Age: Four months old
Gender: Male Breed: Siberian Husky
Home: Mankato, Minnesota, USA
 
   Dakota is a wonderful Siberian Husky. I had always wanted a Siberian Husky and had been reading about them for the past year. I had been calling breeders around the area trying to find out how I could find someone who might have a litter on the way. After a few months of no luck I happened upon an ad in the local paper. It was for seven little eight week old huskies. I called right away and found out where they were. My wife and I went to look at the puppies and were overwhelmed by seven little prancing huskies. One little guy came up to me with a tennis ball and just sat there looking at me. I picked him up and he was just as calm as could be. I instantly fell in love with the little guy. Unfortunately I could not say yes right then. I went and looked at kennels, dog houses, food and other supplies. I decided that yes I wanted the little guy and bought all the extras needed for keeping a dog. We went back and picked him up and brought him home. He was very calm and did not fuss at all. I thought I had lucked out and found a calm, well mannered puppy. But within a week he was an inch taller and was running all over.

    He has now grown to be twice as big and has more energy than I know what to do with. He loves to play in water. Every time we give him water he drinks just a little and then dumps out the rest so he can play with the dish. He also loves playing with the six month old kitten. His other hobbies are digging of course, and playing tag with me. We both love Dakota dearly and the look on his face when we get home shows us he loves us just as much.
