Fido, the Dog of the Day
Name: Fido
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Cairn Terrier, Yorkie mix
Home: Tucson, Arizona, USA
 
   Fido (pronounced F-EE-Do) recently moved to Tucson, AZ from Sardinia, Italy! The photo was taken as part of a fund raiser for a local animal organization.

    Fido is a Cairn Terrier and a Yorkie mix. He started sleeping on the stoop of our house in Italy. My husband and I thought he was abandoned and after we confirmed with the local vet and fishermen that told us Fido's name, we took him in, gave him a bath and some good ol' fashion love. Until one day we met a man in town who said that Fido was his dog! We followed the man home and saw the conditions and the abusive situation he was living in. We promptly took Fido out of his arms and registered him in our name. When we made the move back to the United States Fido got his doggie passport and came with us.

    Fido loves to play fetch and swim. He loves belly rubs and squeaky toys. Fido is very smart and he is trained (his mommy is a dog trainer) but we are in the process of teaching him the English commands. He will do anything for roast chicken and pizza (he is Italian!) Fido plays like a big dog, but loves like a lap dog. Fido made a seamless transition into our family and even brought out the pup in our other dog, Sofie. While he is defiantly a mamma's boy, when he wants to play he goes straight to daddy! This photo was taken as part of a fund raiser for a local animal organization.
