Buddy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buddy
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Classic American Mutt
Home: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
 
   We got Buddy four years ago at the Animal Shelter. My husband had his heart set on a purebred beagle but another family already adopted it. That's when I saw Buddy sitting in the back of the cage looking like he lost his best friend. I read that after the dogs are caged for an extended period of time they are less likely to cock their heads and try to get your attention. In other words - they are sad. I told my husband I want the dog in #35 and after walking up and down the aisles numerous times he didn't even remember seeing him. Now if anything ever happened to Buddy my husband will have lost his best friend! He came out of that cage wagging his tail and its been wagging ever since! I think he sleeps wagging it. When he wants to be petted he'll come up to you sideways to show what a big, tough dog he is. People love him 'cause he such a rascal. He loves going to the park and chasing the rabbits with his big brother Andy. When he sees anyone around he'll bark at them just to show them who is the boss. But raise your voice during a football game and he'll run out the doggy door so fast it will make your head spin. We love the Budster boy and if you met him you'd love him too!
