Jewel, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jewel
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Australian Cattle Dog mix
Home: Emmitsburg, Maryland, USA
 
   Jewel was rescued at eight weeks of age from a shelter on the Eastern Shore and has become a wonderful companion and loyal friend. Jewel is one of a kind. She is quite a dog with a very unique personality. She's kinda picky on who can be a doggie friend to her, but her best friend is a 85 pound German Shepherd named Smokey. She may be smaller than him, but it doesn't stop her from stealing all the chew bones and keeping them all under her so he can't get to them. She loves to run and play, but will also become a cuddler at night while sitting on the couch. Jewel is also a master of escape... she can jump from a standing position out of a 6-foot-high dog kennel and if there is a top on it, she'll pull on the fencing enough to squeeze out through a very small space. Jewel is very special to me because we have been through four moves together and she has always been there for me when I have needed a "pick me up".
