Venus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Venus
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female Breed: Mastino Napoletano
Home: Padova, Italy
 
   I love every animal. In my life, since I was born, I have had: Cats, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Canaries, Parrots, a Mina bird, Fish, Turtles, Mice... and every one was unique and special. I loved them all and remember every one as a member of the family.

    Now my husband and I have three lovely cats and, for the first time in our life, we have a dog. We decided to get a Neapolitan Mastiff, because it's a very rare breed. It's an ancient giant dog, very strong and brave. People think it's a big dog and this means it's dangerous. But they are absolutely wrong, because it is one of the sweetest and most balanced dogs. Usually people who have owned this dog, don't want to have any other different dog. We still don't know if we'll be affected by this "Mastino's fever", but we can admit without hesitation that Venus is changing our lives and our way of thinking! She unconditionally loves us, she often makes us laugh, because she is very funny. Every time she sees us, she brings us a gift (one of her toys, or her bones, a rag ... anything!), as you can see in the picture. Her only fault is ... the slobber! She's dangerous only to our clean clothes! We love Venus!
