What is your dog's breed and age?
Miniature Australian Shepard. 7 years old.

How has your dog impacted your life or the lives of others?
A very sweet velcro dog that epitomizes what people love about their pets. Her boundless energy gives us a reason to get up each morning and we never have to worry about the UPS guy sneaking up on us. She has a miraculous inner clock and can time meals to the second. She has charmed our neighborhood kids with her warmth and love of interaction. Without a real tail, she shakes her rear and it wiggles her whole body whenever she meets someone new.

How did your dog become a part of your family?
We felt our Border Collie needed a sibling and we saw a person with an Aussie at a training class and decided on this special breed.
