Simon, the Dog of the Day
Name: Simon
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chow, Retriever mix
Home: Los Angeles, California, USA
 
   Simon is a chow chow mix I adopted when he was eight weeks old from children who said their dad would take the pup to the pound if they did not find him a home.

    Many people said that because he is half chow he would eventually become dangerous to my male terrier mix and older cat. Well, I socialized him with everything and he's attended numerous obedience classes and currently is competing in Agility (even at 78 pounds). His interests include doggy daycare, cleaning the cat, and catching flies. This handsome boy has a gentle heart - he adores cats and cries if they hiss or scratch him. He is very clean like a chow and is a wonderful watchdog, but never shows unwarranted aggression. My little terrier bullies him endlessly but he just sighs. It's how you raise 'em!
