Tell voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a SSLR dog? If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family? What’s the story behind the photo?
Dusty is an SSLR dog. From rescue through fostering, he was given so much love and wonderful training which only contributed to him being such a wonderful dog. Forget the bio, I immediately fell in love with Dusty when I saw his puppy pic on line and when he was placed in my arms, my heart truly melted. He became my buddy and constant companion and breathed new life and fun into my household. I am not 100 per cent sure of his mix, but fetching and swimming are two of his favorite things to do. Because of Dusty's affinity with water, I have to keep an eye on him. He has been known to soak his head in a bucket at doggie day care, mop up every drop of water in a puddle with his beautiful long coat, or plunge into the most foul of swamps for an afternoon swim. Despite his love of water, when it comes to cleaning him up, he hates the bath and he won't budge an inch if he sees that it is raining outside.
