Sweet Pepper, when I looked at your DoTD photo, I thought to myself, "How precious." As I began to read your story, I smiled at how you love to chase lizards and play with your best buddy, Dusty. But when I got to the part about your heart murmur, and the lengths your people went to to get you taken care of so that you could live a healthy and joyful life, my eyes blurred with tears, I was so deeply moved. Pepper, what a special pup you are and what absolutely dear people you have for your parents. They would take, and did take, any measure necessary to give you the longest and best life possible. You cannot illustrate the true nature of love and devotion any better than that. I know you return their dedication 100-fold, giving them laughter unconditional love every single day. I hope today is an especially fun-filled and wonderful day for you to celebrate your much deserved time in the spotlight. What a happy and healthy girl you are, thanks to your beloved family. Congratulations Pepper, our MOST deserving Dog of the Day!
