Bart, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bart
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Palm Desert, California, USA
 
   We live in Palm Desert and while I was shopping for food at Petco I saw these puppies in a cage area. Bart looked at me with his big green eyes and rough-coated hairy face. I picked him up and he nuzzled my neck. I asked the adoption center, "What is up with the dogs?" They are a rescue league and rescue various pets and adopt them out. Already having a dog and cat, I said "I do want him, and my husband works up the hill, I do not want to adopt without his permission." She let me leave my license and take him to show my husband. My husband said, "Honey, if you want him it is fine with me." I adopted him and his name is Bart. He was a very timid dog and was abused by the time I got him at ten weeks. I gave him love and attention as well as my husband did when he was home. We hired a special trainer to come to our house and train him without any punishing. He did well. He went on to agility and now he performs and does tricks. He has come along way and I would do not know if a human could do what he has done. We love him and he is our special boy. He is now turning one year this month sometime, we're unsure of the exact day. All I can say is he is a very smart and loving dog.
