Marty, the Dog of the Day
Name: Marty
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Wheaten Terrier
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   Marty is a Wheaten Terrier. My boyfriend Joe and I met him and his previous owners on an ad on Craigslist. Marty had been feeling a little sad for some time- he had a brother who was the alpha dog and two toddlers in the house. There was not much attention being given to him. He would lay in the closet all day and was very nervous. He had bitten someone when he was little and so was unable to go to a shelter - but he didn't need to go there!

    Marty has been with us for almost six months now. He is a new dog. He lives with Joe and gets non-stop attention. We both have the biggest soft spot for him. We are so proud of him - he is so confident!! He is the king of his castle (condo) and the number one dog in his neighborhood! He is popular regular at all the dog parks in Chicago. All you have to say is "do you want to go out?" He gets up, slides into some stretches, shakes off the nap and gets going. He knows that there are a lot of things and butts he need to sniff! He is always smiley with his tailwaggin'! He has perfected begging - he could win an Oscar for his performances every night!! Who could resist! What a pooch!
