Dreyfus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dreyfus
Age: Six and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chow, Shepherd mix
Home: Hollywood, California, USA
 
   This is Dreyfus, who ran out in front of our car at midnight on my birthday six years ago. Talk about destiny! He was an emaciated pup who had obviously been on the streets for awhile. He was frightened and weak, and his coat was terribly matted. But just look at him now!! The vet said he probably wouldn't make it, but thanks to a lot of TLC, he's grown from a 35-pound people-shy stray to an 80-pound out-going beauty. Like most chows, he's a little overly protective of his owners sometimes, but he's generally quite friendly, and he's one of the happiest dogs you'd ever want to meet. He has a very good memory and learns tricks fast. He's surprisingly gentle and very affectionate. He loves to play "tag" with our miniature American Eskimo and take really long walks. His favourite thing in the world is chicken.
