Name:	Stoffer	Age:	Four years old

Stoffer is very special to us. He makes us laugh and brings happiness to our lives every day. We found him as a stray at the local RSPCA shelter (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in 2002. When we brought him home, there was a bit of an adjustment period! While he was very well trained in terms of obedience, he just couldn't resist re-landscaping our young garden. He ripped out plants, dug holes, and chewed sapling trees in half. After a short, destructive period, we decided to compromise. Stoffer got to destroy the back yard, and we got to keep the front yard - where most of our hard work was being tampered with! It has worked well. He has outgrown the plant annihilation phase, but is still partial to a bit of digging. We also went through a Houdini period, where he discovered how to escape the back yard when we weren't home. Neighbors reported seeing him at the local shopping complex, and occasionally he got home after we did. A new fence put an end to unsupervised excursions... Stoffer is so friendly and loving. He loves meeting new people and making friends, and hanging out with his best friend Oscar the Golden Retriever. He very rarely barks, and never bites. Stoffer's favorite things are: being inside the house, walkies, food, playing, and getting pats and attention, in any order. Stoffer tolerates with good humour: bath time. Stoffer's least favorite things are: thunder, fireworks, and anything else that resembles thunder or fireworks. He is an excellent goalie, and would be an asset to any soccer team. He also loves to leap in the air to catch a ball or frisbee, and often tries to beat me at tug of war. Just look at that face - he's our Dog of the Day every day. Hugs, AngelBear7042
