Tank, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tank
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Black Labrador Retriever
Home: Texas, USA
 
   Be knew Tank was special the day we bought him and his sister for a school auction. We showed up to buy a female lab and this adorable black male lab followed us to the car. So, we bought both. We had to keep the puppies for a couple of days before the auction. We all fell in love. At the auction, my dad Larry bought him back as a surprise for the family. We named him Tank because he was built like a military tank. Then we had two labs, a black male and a chocolate female. They soon had eleven puppies. Tank was a great father. Tank has never been trained, but he is always waiting for an order to obey. He is truly one of a kind. He is a giant, but a gentle giant.

    Our family attended the 2005 Alzheimer's Walk in honor of my grandmother. Tank was the first dog across the finish line and received a trophy, treats and an article in the newspaper for his #1 finish. He is never without a ball so the first thing you saw coming across the finish line was a tennis ball. Tank is so sweet. He often sits in his spot under the kitchen desk while Madison and Buddy play fight. He will never leave our side.
