Hello!
I would like to honor my dog Saito; he is wonderful and handsome.
Hello. My name is Saito, named after ancient Japanese warrior Hajime
Saito. I insisted on writing my own Dog of the Day summary, as I consider
myself more human than dog:
Exhibit A - I prefer people food over "kibble." My favorite is pita; I
don't like jalapeños. Once when my humans were away, I ate all of the
leftover pizza! Minus the jalapeños, which I removed with surgical
precision and lined up on the living room rug.
Exhibit B - I prefer people furniture. My favorite is the couch when my
humans are lounging on the floor. Every night, I slumber on the guest bed
with my little sister curled up on the floor in front of me like my dog.
Exhibit C - I am proud of my looks. I stand straighter and walk with more
swagger when I wear my favorite bandanas. My looks have gotten my humans
countless free drinks at Starbucks drive-throughs. Once when we were in
Boston, a couple stopped us to offer me one of the hamburgers they just
picked up for take-out (which my humans turned it down! I'm still upset about that).
Exhibit D - I need my personal space and freedom. Unlike most canines, I
am choosy about when I dole out affection...most typically when I want
something or think I've done something wrong. When my humans call me over,
I stop just far enough out of their reach. And finally, I believe a man
needs his adventures; if the backyard gate is accidentally left open, I
unfailingly run away!
My humans sometimes call me "Emo Boy." It's true that occasionally I cry
for seemingly no reason or stare blankly into space for minutes at a time.
The characterization falls a bit flat though, because my favorite toy is a
stuffed pink dragon named Marjorine. I have seven Marjorines whom I love equally.
My humans constantly shower me with affection, toys, and treats and also
tell me how special I am. I know they love me more than anything, which I deserve.
