Jackson, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jackson
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Pug
Home: Santa Cruz, California, USA
 
   Jackson is a six-ish year old male pug, who lives with his human and feline family in Santa Cruz, California. We adopted him when he was about 3-1/2. He graduated from Doggy Kindergarten last summer, and is good at "sit" and "down", especially when there is food involved. Although he's a "small" dog, we refer to him as "small but mighty." Jackson thinks he's a labrador, and one of his favorite things to do is follow his labrador cousins into the ocean chasing balls, and to body surf his way back to shore. When we visit his labrador cousins in Tahoe, Jackson keeps up with them even through twelve feet of snow! He loves to eat all kinds of things, including grapes, apples, cantaloupe, and the occasional bit of seaweed. He loves to stretch out in patches of sun in the house and snores when he sleeps. He loves his Booda hedgehogs, and has about 25 of them. Every where he goes, people stop to pet him and compliment him on his sheer "pugness."
