Snickers, the Dog of the Day
Name: Snickers
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Miniature Long Haired Dachshund
Home: Arvada, Colorado, USA
 
   Snickers is special because he responds very well to voice only commands and I'm sure a few other dogs do this too but here's an example. If you say "where's your ball" he won't stop looking until he finds it. And when he brings it to you, if he drops it not quite close enough - you say "closer" and he nudges it a little closer and if you say "closer" he'll nudge it a little closer... etc. His best trick is responding to "go get the newspaper" because this (on some days) is a real chore. If he can't pick it up, he'll drag it all the way to the door!
