Cocoa, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cocoa
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Chocolate Lab
Home: Wilmington, Delaware, USA
 
   Cocoa is very, very special to my family and I. I have had her since she was eight weeks old. When my mother allowed me to get another dog, I was so excited and already knew that I wanted a Lab. A friend of the family had puppies so we went to get one. Mom told me not to choose right away so that we could see their personalities but I had already fallen head over heels for a reddish brown, pretty, quiet pup and had to have her. Mom didn't like that, but she got her for me anyway.

    When we brought her home, Cocoa was still so well behaved! As she grew older and started teething, she never chewed any of the furniture or anything other than her toys. We didn't even have to teach her! She only barks a few barks when she hears someone outside that we aren't aware of. She is very friendly to anyone and everyone that we are friendly to and rolls over on her back for them to rub her tummy! And as you can tell, she loves it when we get snow, too.

    Cocoa is my best friend always and forever. Being in high school is pretty tough, and she knows when something is wrong and we swear she understands English! She does! Cocoa and I are inseparable and she follows me wherever possible. It was destiny for us to be together! I hope that you fall for her as I have!
