Spock, the Dog of the Day
Name: Spock
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepard, Australian Shepard mix
Home: Castro Valley, California, USA
 
   Introducing Spock Jones Davdison! We found Spock at the Oakland, CA SPCA shelter and fell in love with him. He is now a part of our family and living with us in Castro Valley, CA. As for why he is special... well, his ears of course. Spock attracts everyone by flapping and flopping his ears around! We hope you enjoy his ears as much as we do! Spock was at a local animal shelter hiding in the far corner of his kennel when we found him. It was "ears at first sight" with him and we couldn't resist his shyness and puppy dog look on a spontaneous trip to the local animal shelter two months ago. After a nice bath and some time to warm up to us, Spock decided that we would be a great for him.

    Spock is so loving, protective and wants to be loved and a part of our family so much that he use to bite us in the butt when my husband and I would hug each other (which was cute but painful at times). Spock knows how to please people and have them eating out of the palm of his paw. Most people cannot resist his big ears and how one of them flops over while the other one is erect. I guess he only has enough energy to hold one up most of the time! Spock can crawl, sit, bow, give paw, lay down, high five, and stay. It is hard to explain but half of the tricks he learned on his own and in a day or two. We think that is part of his "plan" to charm us into giving him attention and treats. Every day is an adventure with Spock. The best is when we come home and Spock would wag his pom pom of a tail (someone clipped it) at us and roll onto his back to welcome us home.
