Akimi, the Dog of the Day
Name: Akimi
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female Breed: Shiba Inu
Home: Odessa, Texas, USA
 
   Akimi's special because she keeps our family active, especially when she plays rocket dog through the sprinklers and runs her "Shiba 500" races every night. She is full of energy and is helping our family stay young and happy. Akimi is also a wonderful hunter and brings her catches to the door for us. She wants to make sure we are not going hungry. So far she has brought two birds, and one turtle. She patrols her yard with vigor keeping all cats and stray animals away. She loves her back yard, especially when the leaves fall. She leaps through the air with abandon, confronting all leaves that would dare flutter through the air.

    Akimi has been the best thing for our family, she helped my daughter through a tough time after a bad accident. Akimi allowed all the hugs and tears my daughter had to give her. She also helped me through the loss of our older dog, Chaser, a fifteen-year-old Dachshund/Beagle mix. But she loves my husband most of all, because his arms never tire of letting her chew on them.
