Tugger, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tugger
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yellow Lab
Home: Merrimack, New Hampshire, USA
 
   This picture was taken when Tugger was three months old. But he is still so cute! Tugger is a bit far from perfect. You could say he's just plain weird. His favorite pastime is eating. Last Christmas, he ate a cheese log from off the table. Another time he swallowed up two whole bags of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - not good, we know chocolate is bad for dogs, but he's okay, thank goodness. Another incident occurred when he broke a bottle of IBC Root Beer and licked up all the soda. Aside from all his eating, Tugger likes to spend time in front of the fire. He is friendly to strangers and other pets. Sometimes he will curl up with our three cats, Sammy, Oreo, and Mia. Tugger just loves to interact. When he tries to get your food, he will give you the puppy look. And then, when you take one look into his eyes, the food becomes his. Sometimes during the summer, we take him to the lake and he swims for a few minutes. Then everybody at the lake will come over and pet him. When we first got Tugger, our oldest cat Sammy, who is now five years old, chased Tugger around the house - what a hilarious sight that was! Ever since we got him, Tugger has been loyal, lovable, and is always there when you need a hug. Tugger is not a pet - he is a family member.
