Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

AACCC Adoption of the Week: Meet Optimus

Here's Anchorage Animal Care and Control's Adoption of the Week, courtesy of Brooke Taylor, AACCC public relations coordinator.

Here is Optimus, an adult, male, Rottweiler mix. Calm, gentle, attentive, this big guy handles great on his leash and really wants to please. He's super friendly and well-mannered, sits politely for his treats and takes them gently. He is known to often lean into whoever is petting him, letting them know how much he is enjoying it! He has also done well in Shelter Dog Play Group. Excellent companion for walks or just hanging out together. Did we mention handsome, too? He is having his neuter surgery donated this morning by the Alaska SPCA! When he returns to the adoption floor in a few days, he will be only $72 to adopt, which includes his MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip!
