Happy Dog of the Day to you, beautiful Atira!

In your stunning good looks, your athleticim, your need to "work," and your joy for life, I can see, and "feel," the best of both of your beloved breeds! But it's your "exclusively Atira" heart, and your gentle, loving spirit, that make you the EXTRA special girl that you are. I had tears in my eyes, reading your devoted human's heart felt tribute to her/his best friend and soul mate (and yes, you truly were born a wise soul), and we can't thank her/him enough for rescuing you, for saving you, for giving such a deserving doggie a chance at a happy life! And from the moment you "came home," you haven't stopped giving back, Atria, not only to your person, but to all who cross your path, especially those in need of a smile, some furry comfort and unconditional love. No wonder all who have the great pleasure of meeting you, all of your adoring friends and fans in the neighborhood, at the nursing home, all about town, come to love you. You truly are an angel in a furry coat, sweetheart, the best friend a human could ever hope for, and so very deserving of being honored here today.

Many thanks to your person for sharing your heart warming story and beautiful photos with us all, giving us the chance to pay tribute to the very special girl that you are, and all that you mean to her/him...to so many!
Enjoy your big day in the spotlight, beautiful girl, celebrating to the max with your beloved Jaya and the entire fur family! And here's to many, many more happy years of shared love and companionship for you all! (And at 8 years young, you're only now just hitting your stride!)
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Atira, Dog of a Lifetime!
P.S...Your pictures are heart melting...That one of you sleeping proves you truly are an angel!
