Darling boy Rosco! It is truly an honor to meet you today, sweetheart! I can't imagine a more deserving Dog of the Day than you! I was moved to tears by your story, Rosco. How any "family" could abuse a living creature, a member of the family (supposedly), so heartlessly, is beyond comprehension! Welcoming a companion animal into your home is a lifetime committment; our furkids are not disposable possesions to be tossed aside when it become "inconvenient." Well, thank goodness for that baby, as it gave you the chance to be free of such a hellish existence! And wow, what a wonderful forever family you have been blessed with Rosco; you're finally living the happy, carefree, love filled life you always deserved! Your resisliency, your indomitable spirit; your ability to bounce back and learn to love, trust, and well, be a doggie again after having lived a life of virtal solitary confinement, is simply amazing! And to think since your adoption a devoted Daddy and fursibs have been added to the pack! Your family is complete!

Oh, I wish I could cover that sweet face of yours with a million kisses, Rosco! You're a hero in my book; for surviving such abuse, for coming out on the other side such a joyful, gentle, loving soul; and your family too, heroes all! And like you Rosco, I too wish all of our canine and feline friends, all creatures, could be as lucky as you!

Congratulations and lots of love and cuddles to you on your much deserved day of honor, sweetheart! I wish for you and your family, your dear Mommy and Daddy, and fursibs, "Bad" Lucy and Bitsy (), a very special, love filled Dog of the Day celebration, and countless more happy years of shared love and companionship!
P.S...Love your outfit!
