Hi Rocco in Italy! Happy Dog of the Day!

So happy to meet you, sweetheart! And oh yes, tell your human I sure did enjoy reading her heartfelt, love filled tribute to her beautiful, cute as can be, Cocker fur brother! And no apologies as to the length. When one is as special a pup as you there simply aren't words enough, not to mention you and your human sure have a very special rescue/homecoming story to tell!

How lucky you and your fur mom (?) were, having been found by your "family to be" that fateful, rainy day 6 wonderful years ago! Of course it's bittersweet, your fur mom having been returned to her original owners. I'm sure that was hard for all of you. But thankfully you remained, helping to heal their hearts, and the rest is happy history!

Just as your human says, our pups play such an impactful, important and positive role in our lives; as teachers, as best friends, as loyal and loving companions! And needless to say in all of those categories and then some you fit the bill; that in you, your family has been blessed with the best!

In the end, let me finish this long story with some of my thoughts I'd like to share. Once you own a dog, you won't turn back. It changes your life. It helps you grow up, civilly and humanly. You start seeing things in a different perspective, you see people differently.
Your human may have been clueless as to the responsibilities that come with pup parenting before you (some not so fun...like poop pick up), the priceless rewards rescue brings to one's life. But I think it's safe to say there's no going back now! How blessed she and your entire family are, having a beautiful, cute as can be, best furry family member in you, Rocco! You truly are a treasure, and while you may not have been a planned addition to the family, there's not a doubt in my mind that you and they were destined to be as one!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! Meeting you today, reading your heartwarming backstory and seeing all of your gorgeous photos has been a joy! I hope you're in the midst of a very special day of celebration. sweetheart...posing for pics, enjoying a nice, long walk in the sunshine, doing your best "froggy" and cuddling with your humans, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, hugs and smooches to you, beautiful Rocco, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day!

Such beautiful photos!!!
