Doc, the Dog of the Day
Name: Doc
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Female Breed: Beagle, Chihuahua
Home: Spring Branch, Texas, USA
 
   Doc came in to our lives in November 1998 right after we had just lost our eighteen-year-old son in a tragic car accident. We also lost our dog Tish (ruptured uterus) two weeks after my son's funeral. She had been very sick and no one noticed with all the commotion. Our seveteen-year-old son's girl friend asked if she could buy our family a dog to help "heal" our family. I, of course, said yes as long as it was a small house dog. Well, my son called and said they had found a Beagle/Chihuahua puppy and she was the one. I thought... Beagle? that couldn't get real big.

    Well, Doc is just the right size and the glue that holds our family together. She is the kindest, most loving, sensitive, well behaved dog. She will comfort you when you're down and laugh with you when you're happy. She seems to know when and where she is needed. She was born to be in our family. She played a huge role in healing our family.
