Dearest Emma, what a beautiful, sweet American Staffordshire Terrier you are, so pretty resting there and gazing at me! You have the sweetest face, with those perky ears and those lovely big brown eyes. Your dear persons-to-be found you at the SPCA a year ago, and what a treasure you've turned out to be! All you want to do every minute you're awake is to be with your people. You're full of energy and make them smile with your antics. You're "the life of the party" everywhere you go, and you pout if you're not the center of attention. You sleep with your kitty Andy at the end of your parents' bed, and you won't allow other dogs or cats near him. You're very close with him and also your turtle, toad, newts, and fish housemates! You and all your family members, all species, love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Emma, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Andy and parents and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
