Uma you are such a sweetie. I am so happy that you have a loving home now with your own blanket and pillow on such a big bed. Guess you would need a big space as you are such a big girl. Congrats on being our DOTD and have a wonderul day. :)

Oh what a beautiful and precious girl. It broke my heart to hear of your awful beginning, but thank goodness for those who rescue and those who adopt and love. I wish I could see you waking Mommy up in the mornings. I can just see you there all snuggled with your blanket, just waiting for her to open her eyes. Congratulations sweet Uma on being our beautiful DOTD.

What a beautiful girl you are sweetheart. I can see by your picture that you do have a heart of gold:)

I'm so sorry to hear about your rough start in life and I'm glad that you were given a chance to lead the wonderful life your living now. I can tell how much your human loves you, and I know you love her just as much.

I hope you two have a wonderful day today, and for many more years to come!

Good morning to our lovely, charming Uma!! What a beautiful girl to greet us as our Sunday DOTD! Our hearts are torn apart after reading your story sweet girl. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze us Uma. We're so sorry you had to go through such a horrible period in your life and we pray that someday we can all find a way to abolish this type of intolerable behavior. We are very happy to hear that you have found a loving family and you're now living the wonderful life you have deserved all along. We want to congratulate you on being our special Sunday DOTD Uma and we wish you a day filled with happiness and celebration. Maybe a walk in the park with your pals and plenty of hidden treats to discover for fun:D Keep that tail thumping sweetheart and happiness to you and your loving family always. Thank you Uma's family for saving this precious girl.:) :D :D :D

Love, Daisy and Delilah in Sunny Florida:cool: :cool:

Congrats to Uma on being DOTD!!!!! You deserve it!!!!!!!

Hello Uma,

You are a beautiful, gentle soul and I'm sorry that people
have not always treated you that way.But, not anymore.:D
I'm so happy you have a wonderful home with folks who do
appreciate your sweet, loving heart.Many happy congratulations
on being chosen for special Sunday honors as our very deserving
DOG OF THE DAY. Long happy & healthy life to you sweetheart.:)

What a warm and loving tribute to such a sweet dog. Your friends that rescued Uma knew exactly what they were doing when they gave her to you.

Just look at the life of love she has now! I loved the story of how she wakes you up each morning. How could you possibly start the day any other way but HAPPY!

Congratulations to UMA for being such a special and dear friend and to her Mom for understanding that love would heal all.

Congratulations to Uma for being the DOTD!!!!!!!!!

What a beauuuutiful big girl you are Uma!! You have such a pretty face and look like a veerrry happy girl!! Congrats to SWEET, TAIL-THUMPING GORGEOUS UMA!!!:) :D :)

Oh Uma, what a beautiful girl you are, with an equally beautiful gentle spirit that shines through in your photo as well as your proud human's words. Your story sounds a bit like my rescue boy, Tommy's. He too had a rough start and is a bit of a scaredy cat, but the gentlest soul I've ever known. I can really relate to your story and just how precious you are. You certainly do have a heart of pure gold, lovely Uma. I am always apalled at what some people can do to a helpless creature, and yet equally amazed at the wonderful people who come to the rescue, to give you a chance at a life of love and happiness that you so deserve. I must say, the tail thumping/nudging routine sounds familiar too. There's no fooling my Tasha when she knows I'm coming awake ;). Uma, I hope today you're having an especially wonderful day with your person, I'm sure you'll get lots of yummy treats and plenty of hugs and kisses. Be sure to have your person give you some for me too, ok? :) Congratulations beautiful Uma, on being our extra special and MOST deserving Dog of the Day!

HI there, Uma!! WHat a pretty girl you are!! :) Enjoy your special day, sweetie!!:)

I couldn't help but shed a few tears while reading your Mommy's beautiful tribute to her beloved Uma, the dog with a heart of gold:) The loving look on that beautiful face of yours says it all. My Cody was a rescue too, abused mentally and physically by her previous owner, so I understand the special brand of love your gentle soul requires. And you sure did find that extra special forever human to help heal you body and soul, Uma:) Bless her for giving such a deserving doggie a second chance at happiness. And I have a feeling that those joyful wake up kisses are your special way of saying, "Thank You Mom!" But I'm sure she feels as we all do, that the pleasure, the privilege, the honor of sharing our lives with you pups is all OURS:) And Uma, you don't need to perform any tricks to prove to the world how smart you are, how well mannered, how special. The unconditional love you give your guardian is the greatest, most precious gift of all. Your Mommy sure does love you Uma and we do too! I hope today you and your family and doggie friends at the park are enjoying a very, very happy, fun, love and treat filled Dog of the Day celebration!!!:) What an extra special Sunday honoree you are! BIG hugs and kisses to you dear, beautiful Uma!:)
