What a brave, beautiful, most precious boy you are, Mashka. As your human says, a total heart-melter!

What a very rough start at life you had indeed, Mashka, but oh, far you've come! I'm so sorry to hear of the tragic passing of your fur brothers. Blessedly, you managed to survive, and despite having suffered a stroke as a result of the accident, you perserved, not allowing your health challenge to keep you from enjoying your senior time to the max, even sharing your cage with a female furry friend! What a very special boy you are, Mashka, a true survivor. Your fighting spirit and joy for life are an inspiration to us all! How lucky your family is, having a sweet and loving, best furry friend in you, sweetheart! You're a treasure, and so very worthy of your Pet of the Day crown!

Thanks to your human for sharing your heartwarming backstory, your heart-melting photos with us! Meeting you has been a real treat! Hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebation, playing with your girlfriend, exercising on your ladder, munching on pumpkin seeds and "cookies," cuddling with your human, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, gentle cuddles and kisses to you, precious Mashka, our very special and most deserving Pet of the Day, EVERY day! Love to your cagemate/girlfriend, too!

Heart-melting!!!
