Oh McKinley, what a precious "hug from God" you are indeed, what a wonderful way of describing how very much you mean to your Mommy. You posed just beautifully with Red in your Mom's studio that day, and she took a fabulous picture of you! I'm so very glad you decided to share it with us . Sounds like you have a life just full of love and fun times up there in Alaska. You may have been born in warm North Carolina, but you have grown up to be a true dog of the North! It's also evident that your Mom has gotten quite good at knowing just what you are saying when you talk to her. I hope today is EXTRA fun and special for you as you celebrate being our very own star at Pet of the Day. Congratulations Sir Kiska Arctic McKinley, on being our very distinguished Dog of the Day!
