Dearest Chopper, what a beautiful girl you are, and what a wonderful story you have to tell of rescue and recovery! You were rescued from a house fire that burned off the top layer of skin from your back and head. We're so very sorry your dear first person lost his home and one of your doggie siblings in that fire. He was overwhelmed, and then his good friend took you on and carefully and lovingly nursed you back to good health (both physical and spiritual). You will never grow hair again, and you required and will always require moisturizer a lot of the time. Your dear person applies this as needed and has also provided you with quite a delightful wardrobe to keep the cold and sun off you!

You live with her/him and two other Chihuahua-cross doggies now but often go back to visit with your first daddy and chase the kangaroos on his farm! You and your dear person and the other doggies all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Chopper, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
