Thriving Miss Daisy

Daisy the Doberman, 2 Years

What do you see when you look at me? Lots of people seem to see a big, scary dog, and that makes me feel sad. I’m not scary at all—and I’m pretty sure I’m actually very small.

Just ask my human. She always wanted a dog like me, ever since she saw the one in Disney’s Up. That dog was mean, but I don’t like to be mean like him. I like to be Nice and Good.

So if you see me around town, or if you meet another dog that kind of looks like me, maybe say hello. I will be super excited to meet new human and animal friends pretty much anywhere. Except near the pool.
