Jack, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jack
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd, Husky mix
Home: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
 
   We adopted Jack when he was five months old. He was very shy at first and wanted to play with us but was too scared to play when we were facing him. But as soon as we would turn around he would nip at our heels - that's the Aussie in him, they are herders - and get really excited. He is now the opposite of shy and wants to play with anyone willing. He was a very destructive puppy, choosing to destroy his daddy's very expensive electronic equipment. But with a face like that you can't stay mad at him very long. Jack has the most energy I have ever seen in a dog. When he goes out to play he runs in circles for hours and never wants to come inside. He is pretty insane in the snow but it's fun to watch.

    Jack loves our cats, even though the cats aren't his biggest fans. We are pretty sure he was a cat in another life. He chases string, pounces on his toys, and enjoys going after your feet under the covers. He's a very intelligent dog but a little stubborn, he learned all of his tricks in about a month but will refuse to listen to any of the commands when he's outside playing. He is the best thing that could have happened to our little family and makes every day brighter.
