Dora, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dora
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Rottweiler
Home: Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada
 
   Dora is a Rottweiler, she was born on June 7th, 2007. I was seventeen years old and had just finished my last year of high school. It was midsummer and I was working full time at a local Tim Horton's saving some money. I had made plans to move out at the end of August in with my boyfriend. We decided together that we wanted to get a puppy to keep both of us company when the other one was away.

    I had no preference to what breed I wanted so I had left the decision up to him. He wanted to get a Rottweiler or a Doberman. I started going on kijiji and had messaged a lady out in Binbrook who had a German Shepherd/ Rottweiler mix. We made an appointment to go view the puppy. After visiting with the family and seeing the puppy, we decided that we would rather go with a full breed rottweiler. Driving home that day down a country road we scene a sign for rottweiler puppies. We wrote down the number and called the next day.

    We went back out the the country home about two days later to see the puppies. As we got out of the car the male was in the yard and started barking from his kennel. I was a little bit scared of the breed and this left me feeling a little uncomfortable. As we knocked on the door the lady approached with the mother and let all of the puppies out to come play out front. After settling in for about a half an hour and playing with the puppies we chose the biggest female. We named her Dora.

    When my relationship did not work out Dora and I moved on our own. She has been my best friend and companion, my shoulder when I need somewhere to rest my head, and the best friend I could ask for. She helped me pull through a lot of hard times well being so young, and the bond that we share is inseparable. She changed my perception of the Rottweiler breed, along with all of my friends and family members. She is living proof that Rottweilers are loving, loyal, and hardworking. Though she may be stubborn at times she is my best friend. I could not have made it through the last four years without her! She is my heart.
