Sheriff, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sheriff
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Lurcher
Home: Nuneaton, UK
 
   Sheriff is a really special pet. He's lived with us for a year now, having been a rescue dog from the Dogs Trust in Kenilworth. He now lives happily in Nuneaton. He is really good fun to be with, running like the wind but coming back when he's called. He lives with an 11 1/2-year-old German Shepherd and he knows he's too old to run with him, but they have found lots of ways of playing together gently. He's very affectionate and loves to be cuddled. We can't imagine why someone would want to abandon him - he's just the best!

    He's not too good at tricks I'm afraid, but he is very good at catching mice when he's out on his walk. If he thinks he's seen a mouse in the hedge, he springs up like a gazelle. It's really funny to see. He loves to play with his toys and his favorite toy is a soft toy with a squeaker that we call "Blue Cow". He used to like stealing our shoes and hiding them but thank goodness he's grown of that now! He really loves squeaky toys.

    His name is quite unusual. It's the name he was given at the Dogs Trust center before we brought him home, so we don't know why he was named Sheriff. We have dressed him up in some little cowboy boots and a neckerchief and he looked especially stunning and suiting his namesake. All he needed was a cowboy hat and sheriff star to complete the look! We are so glad that Sheriff has found his forever home with us. It's unbelievable that someone somewhere could have abandoned him. Their loss is definitely our gain! Sheriff's looking forward to his first holiday abroad this summer and naturally he looks just gorgeous on his passport photo!
