Why Should Your Pet Win? First of all, my sweet puppy has always been there for me when I was sick. She licked my tears when I cried, slept on me when I wanted someone to hold and was just very sweet to me. Secondly, she has always been a joy, keeping me company and just being a sweet companion. Thirdly, she is my morning alarm clock, even on the weekends. Lastly, she is the funniest small guard dog you can imagine. Whenever we get a delivery or someone walks by the front door she runs, barks and slides into the front door. These are a few of the reasons why I think she is a wonderful pet!

Anything Else We Need to Know? I love watching her sleep on her back.
