Sunny, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sunny
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Chow Chow, German Shepherd, Collie
Home: Rancho Santa Margarita, California, USA
 
   This is Sunny, short for Sunshine. From her mutt characteristics, she is believed to be from Chow Chow, German Shepherd, and Collie decent. Sunny was abandoned as a puppy and found in Palm Springs, California wandering the streets emaciated and covered in ticks and filth. She was rescued by a daughter of a Sharpei/lab breeder in Trabuco Canyon, California where she was groomed, fed, and medicated. Just three days after her rescue, we found her adoption ad in the Orange County Register and took her home for keeps.

    Sunny is my first dog, she's my little girl since I don't have kids yet. She's been with me through everything, my first home, my first boat, my marriage, and she'll be there for my first kid. Sunny was diagnosed August of 2001 with Irritable Bowl Disease and is still on medication. She was also born without a pancreas and has to eat special food and powder every day. She is a special doggie with a big heart and loves everyone. She tends to get scared of little dogs and thinks she is a Great Dane and loves to play with big dogs.

    Sunny can say "Ma-Ma" and speak on demand. She knows a couple tricks and hates bringing the ball back when retrieving it. She loves watching my husband and I play tennis, she loves to go fishing, camping, and just for 4x4 mud rides.

    Overall, the most I think of about her being special is her big brown eyes. She says so much when she's looking at you. She is our little girl.
