Shannon, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shannon
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Shepherd mix
Home: Alton, Illinois, USA
 
   Hi, my name is Shannon, a.k.a. Shenanigan and 'Pretty Girl.' I found my people one day when they were walking their other dogs. I followed them home, and became a member of the family.

    I try to remind them every day that I'm 'practically perfect in every way.' I keep them healthy by making sure they walk me and the two other dogs I live with, Murphy and Mulligan, at least a couple miles a day. I'm not picky about what I eat. I've tried crayons and rubber bands, but really love carrots and dog biscuits. I don't really do any tricks, other keep watch in the kitchen in case any food falls on the floor. Then I'm on 'clean-up detail.'

    My people tell me I followed them home in 2005. They tried to find my former owners, but not finding anyone looking for me, they decided to keep me. Since I go for walks every day, I'm pretty social, however I don't like it when small dogs bark at me. They scare me a little. I've visited an assisted living facility a couple of times and when the residence want to meet me, I sit and patiently wait until they are done petting me.

    I love my people very much and I'm glad I could convince them to nominate me. I wish every dog had people just like them.
