Tipper

Your dog’s birthday    November 16, 2000

How did you obtain your dog?       Adopted from an older couple who could no longer take care of him
How old was your dog when you got him/her?      10 years old

Your dog’s favorite food  - right now chicken and rice

Cutest thing your dog does    The white star on the top of his head

Smartest thing your dog does      Barks when outside to get Sampson to come outside and check everything out.

Anything else you would like to share about your dog:    Even though he has difficulty seeing and hearing, he can always find food when it is dinner time.
