Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I'm calling her Sweetie for now, because of her unbelievable sweet and loving disposition. She's about a year old. I found her laying in the middle of a busy intersection in Inglewood, just enjoying the fresh air while cars were swerving around her! I stopped my car at the intersection, went over to her and grabbed her scruff - she happily came with me over to my car. She laid at my feet as we waited for the police to arrive, and all the while was loving my affection! She rolled on her back as if she were mine - never wanted to dart off and was happy to be there with me. When the police arrived, she let them put her in my car with ease. As I drove back home it was if she was thankful to have been picked up - she laid silently and gratefully in the car as I drove. As I write this she is sleeping contently on the garage floor. She didn't have a chip and I've attempted to find the owner by posting notices around the neighborhood, but I've heard nothing.
Sweetie is about a year old and has an old wound on her left hindleg; a possible fracture or a break at some point but it has healed nicely and has a little bit of scar tissue surrounding it. She walks, plays and runs just like a normal dog. She was spayed/microchipped and had all of her shots on September 30th. She has such sweet eyes and an amazingly peaceful temperament but is still a puppy and needs training. We've already taught her how to sit. A must for any dog lover.
