Lego, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lego
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua mix
Home: Richmond, Virginia, USA
 
   My family adopted Lego from a local no-kill animal shelter. When we first saw him, it was late January and he was a scrawny thing, missing some fur, and limping around on his bad paw. We instantly fell in love. He was found a month earlier on the streets. The vet decided it was best if they amputated his right front paw, and the doctor did an amazing surgery. The first night we took him home he slept on the floor beside my bed. The next night he hopped into my bed and snuggled right next to me, he's slept with me ever since. He's missing his front right leg, but he has no trouble except when he lifts his leg to pee.

    He is one of the sweetest dogs ever. He loves me like crazy. He follows me everywhere around the house and when I leave he waits at the door until I come home. When he gets excited, it is the funniest thing, he hops around in circles showing his teeth like a smile. He knows sit, lay down, up (where he sits on his butt), high-five, and bang. He loves his baby which he cuddles with (and shakes it and squeaks it). He always tries to protect me, and although he isn't much of a threat I trust him to take down burglars at 4 in the morning.
