Nismo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nismo
Age: Four and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Heeler mix
Home: Eugene, Oregon, USA
 
   Nismo is my best friend and we are inseparable. I found him four and a half years ago while visiting my home town in California. I was on my way home when I saw some old high school friends in front of the local market - they were giving away puppies. Of course I had to stop and say hi, but when I stared into the box I saw him. He was the only boy in the litter and the fattest of them all. They were all solid white with little flecks of brown on their ears. He was different - entirely - especially that patch on his right eye. I picked him up and took him home with me. He slowly started to develope his quirky freckles and his ears turned all brown. I think he is one of the strangest marked dogs i've ever seen and people stop me all the time to admire his spots, he's quite the odd ball at the dog parks.

    He loves the beach and I have taken him to many local beaches here on the Oregon coast and some along central California. He's a water dog and is absolutely fearless. I take him out just about daily - we go to random dog parks, hikes, rivers, ponds, lakes.. etc. He is a wonderful stubborn guy and I can only imagine what a grouchy old man he'll make. He's my baby though, and even after all these years he follows me wherever I go - he's always at my side - and I look forward to every wonderful year to come with Nismo in my life.
