Peppie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Peppie
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Miniature Poodle
Home: Houston, Texas, USA
 
   Peppie is a nine-year-old rescue poodle. He was very badly abused and frightened of everything. He had been kept in a cage most of his five years before I got him. The outdoors really frightened him and he was so afraid of people - especially men.

    The poodle rescue told me if he did not work out, I could return him. It took me six months to get him from crawling under the furniture and growling. Neighbors and friends were convinced that I had a really big problem! I have had him for four years now. He is no longer afraid of people and received his Hospice Pet Therapy dog certification two years ago. He loves his Mama and his new little sister, Portia. Neighbors and friends cannot believe how much he has changed. He is sweet, loving and is so well behaved. I might mention that he is also a diabetic so he needs shots twice a day. He never even gives them a second thought.

    Peppie is a testament to what love and kindness will do in the life of an abused animal. He spreads love wherever he goes.
