Hey, Gretchen! How proud I am to see a Dog of the Day representing the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I'm thinking that you may even have frequented the PetsMart in my very own town.

Congratulations on being our Memorial Day, Dog of the Day. No better choice than a German Shepard, so many of whom have served our country in war. You are a proud and noble representative of the breed with your caring heart and high intellect.

I am ever so glad that you have found a home where your love of life and family are appreciated. Now you enjoy your honor and all the admiration which you so well deserve, and be on the look out for me when you are out and about this summer. I'll be the lady screaming....*It's her, it's her, I know it's the Dog of the Day, Gretchen!* Don't be scared, I'm harmless.
