Hobson, the Dog of the Day
Name: Hobson
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Black Labrador
Home: Long Island, New York, USA
 
   This is Hobson. He is the best dog ever. His nicknames are: Sammy the Bull, Hobsy Bobsy, Hobs, Hobsie, Mr. Hobs, and Pup. He can understand english so easily.As you can see, Hobson loves to swim, especially in August. Sometimes it makes it hard for him, because when he was a pup, his mother stepped on him, and hurt him a lot (his dog mother, I mean). Hobson was also born with arthritis in his elbows. My father and mother are Veterinarians, and are doing an outstanding job with helping Hobson feel better. The breeders we got Hobson from said he would only live till he was two, so to prepare the family for early death. Hobson is doing great, and is five years old. He likes walks, going for car rides, and going to get a bath (he knows the phrase, "Does hobsie want to go get scrubbing bubbles and go bye-bye in the car?") He jumps up and down. He knows the word leash too! Hobson is definitely my best friend, and he loves me and my family so much. Even though he might not live longer than other dogs (God forbid), I am spending almost every moment of my life with him, and enjoying it greatly.
