Hi Appa! Happy Dog of the Day, sweetheart!

What a beautiful, most precious, sweet as can be Chow Chow x Collie boy you are, Appa! Those big, warm and soulful brown eyes of yours could melt the hardest of hearts! But oh my gosh, to say you've been through a lot in your short life would be an understatement!

I have to believe a higher power led your human to you that fateful day she found you, a 4 week old puppy, by the side of the road, saving you from the unspeakable! I can only imagine the strength and determination it took for you to hold on until your rescue! But to think a mere 7 weeks later you would be diagnosed with Parvo is almost too much heartache to comprehend! Thankfully, once again, your fighting spirit prevailed, you not only surviving that nasty virus but thriving, blossoming into the beautiful, happy and healthy, sweet and sassy, life loving boy we meet here today! Just as your Mom says, you truly a fighter and survivor, Appa, your indomitable spirit and will to live an inspiration to us all!

He is healthy and happy now. He is so full of life and an adorable sassy boy. He has been through a lot in his short life and I couldn't imagine life without him.
How lucky your Mommy is, having been so serendipitously blessed with a furkid as brave and beautiful, as sweet and sassy, as loyal and loving, as special as you, Appa! You truly are a treasure, simply the best, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweet baby boy! Reading your heartwarming, life affirming story of rescue, learning of the very special bond you and your Mom share, has brought some much welcomed warmth and *sunshine* to my dark and rainy morning! I hope you enjoy a very special Dog of the Day celebration, cutie pie, a day filled with fun adventures, toys and treats, countless cuddles and kisses, all the love your heart can hold! Lots of love hugs and smooches to you, brave, beautiful Appa, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day!!!

SO precious!!!
