Shadow, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shadow
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   Born on July 4th, 2010, Shadow entered our lives with love and affection. His legal name is Brownie's Shadow, with him being the shadow of our previous dog, Brownie. Brownie recently died back in November at the age of eighteen years old. I grew up with Brownie the whole sixteen years of my life. Loosing Brownie took a toll on our family, but mostly on Shadow. We had gotten Shadow from my grandparents who were breeding their two Shepherds. They gave us our little brown- eyed boy. Shadow grew up in his one and a half years as Brownie's shadow, doing everything like him, guarding the house, sleeping in the shade, on the stairs, following him everywhere, sleeping next to him, eating with him. That last day of Brownie's life, we left the house with him, giving shadow his last time to see him, to say goodbye to his mentor. When we came back with out him, my heart broke. I had never seen such a sad look on any dog's eyes, until that day. Shadow would walk around in the yard searching for Brownie, whining when he never could find him. That was back in November. Brownie had his usual spot on the stairs, now that he's gone, Shadow sits there. I thought I was the only one in the family who loved Brownie the most ... clearly I was wrong.

    Shadow is pretty relaxed, he normally just lays around or chews on his favorite bones and toys. He's a very lovable dog and normally pushes his way into your arms when you sit down. He knows how to fetch and is very smiley all the time. His favorite place to rest is by the fence with his nose sticking out as you can see in his many pictures.
