Breed
Heeler/Border Collie

What makes me special (from your dog's perspective)
I'm a heeler, but my dad calls me Atticus the Healer. I guess when he found me at the pound when I was just 7 weeks old, he was going through a difficult stretch, and I just stayed by his side until he was past it. I love it when we go on hikes along Tucson's many beautiful trails or visit a local dog park and I make new friends. Dad says a heeler should be the official dog of Tucson. There are so many of us here in the Old Pueblo, and I'm the handsomest of them all, he says. I'd agree, if only I understood what that meant!
