Shutter Cutie!

[Karen]

We absolutely love your name, Shutter! What a clever puppy you were - you recognized him as the right human for you, and sealed the deal with a lick to his chin! You look like a well-mixed boy, and your long, low form makes me suspect some PBGV in your gene pool! You shaggy coat is just adorable, and you are just as happy-looking now as a dog can be! That coat looks perfect for Los Angeles weather, thick enough to shield you from the hot sun, but not so heavy you overheat! We love that you are now such a great big brother, too - and I am sure you are teaching the new kids everything they need to know! Congratulations Shutter, it is your big day!

I love terrier type dogs. I too own a terrier mix that I rescued. Thank you for bringing awareness to animals in shelters. There are so many dogs and cats that need homes. Why buy a dog when you can get a perfectly good one from a pound or a rescue group?

Congratulations on being Dog of the Day.
You hit the jackpot with your forever home.
Now you even have playmates. Every dog needs a dog friend.
I just can't understand how anyone could abandon animals.
Fortunately there are good people in the world that take care
of mistreated pets. You found yours.

Greetings Shutter! Happy Dog of the Day!

What a wonderful way to brighten my dark and drizzly morning, seeing your BIG, beautiful self smiling back at me, reading your daddy David's heartwarming words, and oh, seeing your fab photo spread! In addition to being the best forever daddy imaginable, David is one incredibly talented photographer! His photos are beyond heart melting! Then again, with subject matter as photogenic, as precious as you and your sibbies, how could he lose! We couldn't agree more with your daddy's wise words when he says, "adopt don't shop!" The rescue route in definitely the way to go, and you (and all of your adorable furry sibs) are living, loving proof of that! Oh, what a painfully precious trio you and your 2 furry amigos, make! How well your daddy has been rewarded, Shutter, being surrounded by so much furry love! Great thanks to him for using his artistry to put into focus, literally, the faces of so many deserving doggies awaiting their forever families, for opening up his home and heart to 3 such deserving doggies, and to your rescue group for saving you and your littermates for an unspeakable fate! It's so discouraging, heartbreaking, to think that anyone could abandon helpless, defenseless creatures. But with loving, compassionate people such as your daddy, groups such as DASH Animal Rescue stepping up to the plate, I have hope for this oft times cruel, uncaring world! Hopefully they will all find their way to forever families as special as yours!

Enjoy your well earned day of honor, sweetheart, celebrating to the max with Reesee and Porthos, all of you being loved and pampered to pieces by your proud papa! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, adorable Shutter, and to darling Reesee and Porthos, too!

Shutter, Reesee, Porthos, and I wish to thank everyone for all the kind words and a special thank you to Karen and Paul for the honor of Shutter being selected as "Dog of the Day". They are my family, my friends, my pack. And I am theirs.

Always,
-David and Shutter

Oh my goodness, Shutter! What an amazing story! You are a little shaggy, a lot handsome and 100% adorable! I smiled at all your pictures but especially the one tatsxxx11 re-posted and the one of you with the ball, playing with Porthos and Reesee! I am sending you a huge hug this afternoon because you brightened my cloudy, sloppy afternoon! Happy, happy Dog of the Day to Shutter, Porthos and Reesee!
