Dillon, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dillon
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Shepherd, Collie mix
Home: Circle Pines, Minnesota, USA
 
   We were very lucky to adopt Dillon from a rescue organization when he was just a puppy. He had been found wandering around in a field with some other adult dogs. The theory is that he was probably part of an unwanted farm litter, and was lucky enough to escape being destroyed. When we saw him, it was love at first sight. There is not a mean bone in his body - he is always smiling and wagging his tail (that is when he's not napping).

    He has a younger sister, Mina, who is definitely the boss of the four-legged members of our household. He doesn't mind, though. He's just happy to be part of the pack.

    Dillon moves a little bit slower now that he's getting older - he takes pills for his joints twice a day, but we'll do anything we can to make him feel better. He's been part of our pack for a long time, and we hope to have many more years with this special guy!
