Archie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Archie
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male Breed: Pekingese
Home: West Monroe, New York, USA
 
   Archie was a rescue at the age of seven. He was found wandering the streets of New York City. We traveled four hours to get him and it was the best trip we ever made.

    He has been a delight - bringing joy to us everyday. I can't imagine anyone not wanting this little guy. He had been here almost a year before we ever heard a peep out of him as far as a bark. Even now his bark is more like a gurgle when he is excited to see his friends.

    He likes to take walks and sleep. The highlight of his day and mine is when I get home from work and he picks one of his toys to play catch and tag with.

    When we got him, the Vet told us that he was partially blind, that the pigment in his eyes was very dark and when he looked at us it would be like looking through very dark sun glasses. It hasn't stopped him although he does bump into rocks and things at times.

    We wouldn't trade him for the world.
