Dearest Jake, you are adorable! What a precious teacup Maltese you are, with that fluffy white fur and the sweetest face with those cute floppy ears and the lovely big eyes. You have the most delightful personality, too! You prance through the neighborhood on your walks and stop so people can come over and admire you. You're fearless and protective of your mother and very affectionate. You live with your mom, dad (your best friend ever since he retired), and two cockatiel brothers, Peepers and Tweety. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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