Jack the Dog - Cute Pet of the Day

Cute Pet Name: Jack "The Bear" Vella

Location: Salisbury, N.C.

Age: 2.5 years

Dog Breed: Lab mix

Favorite Treat: Canyon Ranch Chicken Poppers

Likes: Food, snuggle time, PBS for kids, hugging friendly visitors, and running in the park until his tongue won't hang out any farther.

Dislikes: Being fenced in, when the squirrels get away, strangers approaching, the word "no" and the sound "atch."

Weird Quirk: Jack really likes to put a person's forearm or chin in his mouth. He does it in the most gentle and loving way, but it is definitely unusual.

Fun Facts: Jack is very good at catching popcorn and smaller balls. He has developed his own after-dinner routine: He will find his current favorite bone and use it to brush his teeth for about 20 minutes in front of the television. Also he was found, with his sister, abandoned on the side of a road in Grand Prairie, Texas.
