Christopher, the Dog of the Day
Name: Christopher
Age: Eight and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA
 
   I adopted Christopher from the local shelter after seeing him on their TV show with the warning that he was to be euthanized on Friday if not adopted. Something just clicked when I saw him and I went down the next morning. Chris (or Chrissy-butt, or Wiggle-butt) has been with us for seven great years. He loves the succession of cats that have come through our home, and some of them have loved him! I had never owned a small dog before, having always had large mutts, but now I'm hooked! Christopher loves everyone he meets, and brings a smile to everyone's face. One strange thing is that lots of people who see him remark that they once had a dog that looked just like him! He must be the quintessential "generic dog." We've never figured out his heritage, but guess he is some sort of Chihuahua-Corgi mix. We named him Christopher because we adopted him at Christmas time. If you are looking for a pet this Christmas, or any other time, please go to your local shelter first. Mutts rule!
