About Us
Astro, the Dog of the Day
Name: Astro
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier
Home: Apple Valley, California, USA
 
   This is Astro, our American Pit Bull Terrier. He is such a good boy! He loves kids and all dogs and cats too. (Not for lunch, either - he really likes them.) His favorite things include running in the desert where we live, or swimming in the ocean when we go there. He is a real sucker for goldfish crackers, and anything with BBQ sauce! He turned five years old on Jan. 22 and for his yearly ritual he got a Big Mac for his birthday. What a treat that was! He just loves our one year old son, they are best buddies - especially now that our son can sneak him scraps, he really loves him. Astro and Kyle play all day together in the back yard finding bugs or just playing catch with anything Kyle can throw. My husband and I are very proud of "both" of our sons!

    Astro or "Gange" as also we call him, got his nickname from the J.R. Tolkein books. One of the hobbits' names was Sam Gangie, but it has evolved to Gange. Astro is a American Pit Bull Terrier that thinks he is a teacup poodle! He is just such a good boy we call him the "Ambassador" for the pit bull breed. He has not a mean bone in his body. We are very lucky to have our little block head.
