Katy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Katy
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pitbull, Labrador mix
Home: California, USA
 
   We adopted Katy from an organization that rescues shelter dogs that are on the list to be euthanized. We suspect that she had been abused and abandoned when she was younger due to her fear of men (except for the ones in our family), and issues with separation anxiety. However, she adores children, her toys, and belly-rubs. She's a huge attention-seeker.

    Many times we find her lounging on the window ledge, watching the world go by. She wants to play all the time, and when no one is playing with her, she will parade around the house with a toy in her mouth, looking miserable.

    Times would come when we would have to leave her alone in the house for a few hours. Because she has separation anxiety, she would tear and chew up many things such as the door frames and TV remotes. However, she has improved a lot and doesn't destroy anything anymore!

    Katy's well-behaved and loves to sunbathe. Sometimes we will sit with her in the front yard while she watches people and dogs in the park. When she goes on walks in the park, she likes to climb up onto the tables to sit and watch people pass by.

    When we sit on the floor with her, she loves to get comfortable in our lap and use us as her pillow. She likes playing hide-and-seek and is very dependent on us. Throughout the day, she will stick to one of us like velcro. She is a extremely gentle dog, and even when playing rough, she makes sure not to hurt anyone.

    She's an amazing dog and is the baby of the family! She has even won over the heart of our dad, who used to be afraid of dogs. We love her to death!
