Gordo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gordo
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Shar-Pei mix
Home: St. Louis, Missouri, USA
 
   We adopted little Gordo from Paws n Claws humane society in Rochester, Minnesota. His mom was a Shar-Pei, and it looks like dad was a Labrador, so we tell people that he's a Sharpador. Now we live in downtown St. Louis, so he's an urban pooch who loves to go for walks down on the Arch grounds - as long as there are no horse-drawn carriages! He's a nervous little fellow - he's afraid of horses, helicopters, loud noises, camera phones, and hand lotion.

    He's a smart boy - he'll bring his leash to you when it's time to go for a walk, and show you where his kibble is stored if you ask him if he wants breakfast! He has an extensive vocabulary - he knows sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, fetch, and most importantly - breakfast and dinner!

    As you can see, he thinks that the sofa is his. He's a sweet boy who loves group hugs, playing tug of war, taking long walks with his mom, and coming home for a little ice cube snack!
