Willy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Willy
Age: Four months old
Gender: Male Breed: Miniature Dachshund
Home: Sierra Vista, Arizona, USA
 
   Willy is a Miniature Dachshund who was born August 15th, 2002. Willy is a beautiful chocolate and tan. Willy currently lives in Sierra Vista, Arizona but spent the first six weeks of his life in Bisbee, Arizona. Willy is willing to travel to meet new pets. Standing a strapping six inches at the shoulder and sporting an athletic frame weighing just under 6.5 pounds as of his last vet visit, Willy is quite the lady dogs' man and does not smoke or drink except in social situations. Willy likes long naps on the couch, dining in, and cozy evenings by the fire. Willy says he wants to find a mate who's not afraid to have fun and try new things. Willy's ideal mate would be a Miniature Pincer, Toy Poodle, or Miniature Dachshund but requires an 8 x 10 glossy photograph before any correspondence from prospective mates will be considered.

    As Dog Of The Day, Willy would strive to provide other, perhaps less beautiful dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes with access to affordable veterinary care and promises to lobby for the enactment of Federal regulations prohibiting anal thermometer usage which is rampant in today's society. Willy has expressed an interest in assisting in the development of programs in the Sierra Vista area which would provide obedience training to underprivileged pets from the inner-city. Willy has recently been active in the treats-for-pups organization which provides Beggin Strips to families who could not otherwise afford to buy pet treats for their dogs at Christmas time. Willy has been an outspoken activist in the debate over the public's mistaken perceptions as to the necessity of leash usage and is founder of the Southern Arizona Canines Against Collars (SACAC) organization, Sierra Vista chapter which he founded just prior to this e-mail so that it could be included among his credits. As Dog Of The Day, Willy would also pledge to use animal control and Humane Society dogs and cats to patrol the Sierra Vista borders to help curb the influx of undocumented rabbits and Gila Monsters into the city limits.
