Gizmo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gizmo
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Papillon, Maltese, Japanese Chin
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   Hi, I'm Gizmo, a four pound Mi-ki - that's a mix between a papillon, maltese, and japanese chin. Earlier this summer I survived a fire as my parents' house burned down while I was trapped inside it. Luckily, the firefighters found me and after a month I have fully recovered! I turned one year old on July 28th, and it was good to be alive!

    For being such a small dog, I have tons of energy. I love to be outside more than anything in the world, especially down at the beach playing in the waves and chasing sea gulls. Playing fetch with my ball is also fun and sometimes, I get so excited I start hopping like a bunny while waiting for my mom to throw it. If I'm not playing, you can find me either following my mom (and dad) around waiting to be fed some yummy treat or curled up in my bed.

    Gizmo is like a little prince because he does not walk/run but prances. For a treat (or a few), he'll give you a single or double high five and roll over. He loves anyone and everyone, only after they have properly introduced themselves to him by petting him and then picking him up. Otherwise, he will follow you around and bark very loudly. While he does like to cuddle, he prefers to be outside. Finally, his favorite toy is yellow ducky he's had since he was a puppy. You can even tell him to "Go get your ducky!" and he will pick out his duck from wherever it is lying around the house.

    I hope everyone out there is staying safe from the fires this time!
