Tessa, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tessa
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Miniature Schnauzer
Home: Newberg, Oregon, USA
 
   Tessa is a very special girl. She was a gift to my nineteen-year-old son who was diagnosed with a rare aggressive cancer in October of 2004. As a puppy, she has spent a lot of time at the Children's hospital in Portland. The nurses and patients all love to see her come in. She is full of energy and has lots of loves and kisses for everyone. When my son was very ill during his many weeks in the hospital she would lay in his bed and play with him and just sleep next to him offering kisses to remind him she was near by. She has become a real sweet, loving girl. She really didn't even mind when grandma put her in a bunny suit to model for us. She has brought a lot of joy to our home, and thinks everyone that comes to our home only comes to see her. She is a good girl and shares her toys with her sister Summer, a Shih Tzu and her brother Tigger, who is a Pomeranian.
