Norman, the Dog of the Day
Name: Norman
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Florida, USA
 
   My name is Norman. I had some tough times before I moved to my new home. It all started when my dad's friend found me. I was underweight and ridden with ticks and wounds. I had clearly been shot, for X-rays discovered hundreds of pellets in me. The vet told her not to find my owners for they had clearly been abusive. Luckily for me, my new dad fell in love with me instantly and, well, the rest is history!

    Life isn't all play for me. I have spent every day for that last seven years "working" at my dad's office. I like to think of myself as the boss! My co-workers are in awe of my tricks. I can do everything from showing my belly, to crawling on the ground, to "singing". I perform these for a price, of course! I am a businessman after all. My loyalty, however, is free. I am very protective of my dad and miss him terribly whenever he leaves the office. I pace back and forth, from the window to the door until he returns, at which point I lather him with kisses.

    A few months ago I tore my ACL chasing a squirrel. I have since had two surgeries to fix it. I also spend three days a week in physical therapy to strengthen my leg. Although I dislike wearing my "lampshade" collar, it doesn't slow me down. I am well on my way to a full recovery! This dog's life is good, indeed.
