Jeter, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jeter
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Maltese mix
Home: New York City, USA
 
   Jeter is five years old, the vet thinks he's a mix between a Maltese and Bichon Frise or poodle. Since I adopted him, he now resides with me on the upper east side of New York City and travels everywhere in his bags. That's just one of them in the small picture, he has many, just for him! So many things make him special; his devotion, loyalty and love to name a few.

    Many people think he was a circus dog in his former life ... he can jump almost three feet high and leaps into my arms without any hesitation. He also sits, rolls over, gives his paw and can twirl around on his hind legs three times (when bribed with a 'cookie'). He is very affectionate toward people he knows, especially me - he follows me everywhere around the house. He is an excellent judge of character, so he can be shy at first with some strangers - but knows a dog lover when he meets one and is very warm to that person.

    Jeter loves more than anything to go for rides in the car - as you can see - and his favorite toy is his moosey (a moose beany baby). It took some time to teach him how to play when I first got him, as clearly before he didn't get much attention. Thankfully that now is simply not the case as he is adored and smothered with love and attention.
