Prince, the Dog of the Day
Name: Prince
Age: Five and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua
Home: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
 
   Prince is a thirteen-pound Chihuahua, yes, he's a pretty big Chihuahua. He came into my family about five years ago when he was about four months old. He was given to us by my aunt whose friend's chihuahua has a litter of puppies running around his backyard in North Carolina. They randomly picked one and he began his sixteen-hour drive to Jersey City. He was scared of us at first, but after a day or two he started to warm up to us.

    Prince knows how to sit, lie down, up, and hand hand. He is a funny Chihuahua, he loves to go outside and bark at the big dogs from afar, but when they get closer he hides behind me first and then greets his big friend. Prince loves to play with cats, especially kittens. I fostered a ten-week-old kitten for a month and both of them had so much fun together. They chased each other around the house and then they cuddled together to sleep.

    Prince is like our little watch dog, he thinks he will protect his family from everything. Every time someone walks through our gate he will run to the sofa and look through the blinds to see who it is, when it's time to come home from school or work we will usually find him standing on the sofa looking through his little spot on the window. He broke four rows of the blinds by accident because he always pulls it down with his nose. The set of blinds that we have now is the third one we have gone through.

    Prince wants everyone to like him. My dad doesn't really play with him or anything, so Prince will cuddle with him whenever he can, just to make sure that my dad likes Prince. He has an annoying habit of going through your purse or jacket pockets and always ends up eating the biggest bills you have in there. But we love him!
