Dearest Pesky, you are absolutely stunning! What a handsome Springer Spaniel you are. I love that fluffy black and white fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with the lovely big dark eyes and the cute freckles around your nose. You look so totally comfortable resting on that couch! What a wonderful personality you have, too! You love to swim in lakes to fetch sticks. Your family adopted you from the Worcester animal shelter when you were just five months old, and you've all been together for some thirteen years now! As your dear person says, you are "proof you can find purebred dogs in shelters, and great dogs no matter the breed," and you're "the best dog you could ever have!" You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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