Jake, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jake
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Shepherd, Lab mix
Home: Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
 
   My name is Jake. My family calls me "Hands" because they think I'm so handsome. They think I am the most special pet in the world because I love them sooo much. My family saved me from a county animal shelter when I was just eight months old. My mom is the best. She feeds me, talks sweet to me, pets me softly on the ears, takes me to the doctor when I don't feel well, and bathes me. My dad plays fetch with me and rough-houses with me all the time. My sister takes me on long walks.

    I'm a silly boy. I bark at other dogs through the window but I just want to play with them. During thunder storms, I follow my mom everywhere. You see, storms really scare me and I know she will protect me and keep me safe. I know what my family says when they speak to me. I know what a "cookie" is and I shake hands when they ask. I also know where to find my "toys" when my family is ready to play with me. And when I hear the word "walk", I go crazy with excitement because I know it's time to get my leash and go and see my friends in the neighborhood. I sit with my leash in my mouth until it's time to go.

    My family has given me a happy home with lots of love. They treat me just like one of them. That's what makes me so special.
