Jameson, Pug: "Jameson was such an expressive little boy. Our neighbors had a dog that would never stop barking, and on this particular day, that dog was barking for two hours straight. Jameson simply could not take it anymore. He made this face before burying his head and ears in the blankets." — Caitlin H.
Foster, Papillon: "Once, we took him on vacation with us and snuck him into the hotel room. We were undetected until he slipped past us and we had to chase him through the hallways. A maid saw and told us there were no dogs allowed in the hotel, *wink wink.*" — Amy P.
Abby, West Highland White Terrier: "Abby got under the deck one day and was covered in cobwebs and leaves. We called her our pirate!" — Mary F.
Sydney, All-American Dog: "When Sydney was about four or five months old, I took her to a local dog park to help her get socialized. At one point, I looked over to see that she had ‘herded’ five Pugs into a tight circle and was holding them there. I guess the herding instinct was strong with her." — Stephanie D.
Bear, Keeshond: "One day early on, Bear walked right up to our TV and intently watched a latino commercial. We soon found out he knew Spanish! We taught him English and he became bilingual." — Joyce K.
Kitkat, Yorkshire Terrier: "She had a pretty high jump for a tiny dog. My husband was cooking and had a plate of partially cooked chicken on the table. He turned his back for a couple of minutes and in that time she managed to jump on the chair, grab the chicken off the table, and jump down. I will never forget the sight of this 7-pound dog with a bow running through the house with a giant chicken breast the size of her face in her mouth." — Kerryn F.
Ludo, Great Dane: "On Thanksgiving, Ludo loved the mojo fried turkey so much that he decided to sneak into the kitchen and help himself to the carcass. We had to wrestle it out of his mouth." — Jahmila B.
Albus, Borzoi: "Once, we were at a river park and he was playing with a Labrador Retriever. He must have forgotten himself because next thing I knew he was jumping out into the water like he was a professional dock dog! Unfortunately, he didn't actually know how to swim! My poor boy immediately regretted the decision as he scrambled to get back on the shore." — Erik F.
Rollo, Dachshund: "Rollo was always clowning around. One time when I was on the scale, I thought I had gained extra weight until I turned around and realized he was standing on the back." — Denice R.
Cookie Dough, Papillon: "Cookie loved Lowe's...in particular, the flower section. One day, we didn't have time to go over to the garden section and Cookie looked so angry when he realized we were headed home. We felt so bad that we took him back within a few days." — Bridget R.
Pippa, Cairn Terrier: "He hated thunderstorms. As soon as the winds started, he would burrow under our couch, but he would only go hips deep, leaving his tail completely exposed for us to see. It was a running joke to loudly say, 'Gee, I wonder where Pippa is...' And that exposed tail would start wagging!" — Jessica C.
Gizmo, Japanese Chin: "Once in our neighborhood park, Gizmo was on a leash and ran after a squirrel. I let go of the leash knowing he couldn't catch it. Wrong! Gizmo did catch the squirrel and tried to kill it. I finally was able to grab Gizmo by his legs, and moments later, he let go of the squirrel." — Debra J.
