Dakota, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dakota
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Australian Cattle Dog
Home: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
 
   This is my little girl Dakota. She looks very sweet in this photo, but isn't always this dignified. Since we live in the city, she doesn't get a chance to herd cattle or sheep. So, she likes to herd people on bikes or roller blades. She really goes after radio controlled cars!

    We go to the dog park a few times a week. She plays really well one on one. With a larger group, she runs on the outside and tries to make all the dogs go in the same direction. When she first met Arnie, a very large Great Dane, she was quite intimidated. Now she has decided he is large cow and that he needs her to tell him what to do and where to go.

    Going to the dog park is always an opportunity for her to go to all the humans for some attention. She loves to be petted! Dakota is also a very good watch dog! No human or squirrel can pass too close with her notifying me (and my neighbors)! She is my sweetie and I love her!
