Braxton, the Dog of the Day
Name: Braxton
Age: Five and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
 
   Braxton was adopted from the shelter at six months. He immediately caught my eye by sticking his nose thru the cage bars to be petted; and by being named Braxton. We had just moved into a Condo named Braxton five months prior. He loves to play fetch with a tennis ball. He will return it to you every time by dropping the ball in front of you with a bounce. He has his own "Go Dog Go" Tennis Ball Thrower, which he loads and plays with by himself. He also loved stuffed animals, squeak toys, and indoor soft balls.

    Braxton is very helpful and smart. He loves to have jobs. He will get my slippers when I get out of the shower. without me asking. He will get a copy off the fax copier as it is coming out and hand it to me, if I ask. He takes a bottle of beer in a bag to the second floor to my husband when he gets out of the shower, and brings his empty back to me. He eats Frosty Paw Ice Cream and when finished, throws the cup in the garbage. He will pick up items you drop and deliver card and notes. You just ask him, and he seems to understand; and is a quick learner. He is also quite a paper boy. This is a dog who is great with children and other animals. He loves them all.
