Entrant's Name
Valerie

Animal Bio
I am a 4 year old Havanese. I have been deaf since birth and have trained to respond to hand signals and a vibrating collar. Fraser River Park (where this photo was taken) is my happy place. I can run free without the problem of cars although my mom has to keep an eye out for coyotes.

I used to get to go to the office with my mom and work with her clients. I am a very good cuddler. Unfortunately she’s retired now which means we are out and about more exploring new places. She knows not to leave me at home alone very much as I need to keep an eye on her. I love meeting new people and any other creature that seems warmly disposed to me.

I would love to be in the calendar. I think I look kind of mysterious in this shot and hope people will want to meet me.
