Pearl, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pearl
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pointing Labrador
Home: Montana, USA
 
   Pearl is the most gentle dog you could ever imagine!! I can feed her even the smallest piece of a dog treat from my lips, and she takes it without having me ever feel I am in any danger. We play "fight" over her chewbones, tennis ball, and play tug-of-war with milkbones.

    Pearl is a wonderful swimmer, and loves to retrieve. She is not quite the huntress her "dad" wanted her to be, but I think she is the best pal I've ever had. She loves to fetch a tennis ball and leaps way high to catch it; the grace she has makes her look like a ballerina!

    Pearl recently developed cataracts, and we are hoping to correct that problem with specialized surgery. I would be devastated if she couldn't see the ball, but I have the feeling she would try using her other senses! When we go for walks she seems more concerned about "losing" me than I am about her running off on me!

    She is faithful, smiley, always happy, and a true gem. Certainly a Pearl in the ocean of pets.
