Name: Hachi
Hometown: Cornville, Arizona
Age: Approximately 1 year and 8 months
Favorite brand of kibble: My favorite is the Purina Pro Salmon and Rice. It’s especially delicious when Mom mixes in a little wet food.
Favorite people food: I have so many favorite people foods. I don’t get to eat people food all the time as I can have a sensitive stomach. I do love chicken, pizza and cookies. Paws down, cookies in the morning are the best. In the morrnings Mom and Dad have coffee and cookies and they will share a cookie with me. Just hearing the crinkle of the cookie wrapper makes my mouth water. Occassionally, they will try to fool me and give one of those cookies without sugar, but I know the difference.
Favorite toy: I have gone through a lot of toys as I do have a bit of an obsession with the squeaker inside of them. It’s a passion of mine to find the squeaker inside my toys. I love any type of toy someone can throw for me to go and fetch. I really like the big stuffed lion in my sister’s room but she’s made sure it’s off-limits to me, and I’m not allowed to play with him anymore.
Favorite outdoor activity: Going to the dog park and playing with all my dog friends is something I could do every day and all day long. I’m really friendly and love to play with any size dog. No doggie is too small or too big for me to play with. I think it’s fun making the dogs chase me because they never can catch me! When the weather is hot I also enjoy playing in my little swimming pool.
Favorite indoor activity: Being silly and throwing all my toys out of the toy box. I love to be the center of attention and have people play with me. Sometimes sitting on the couch with my family watching animal shows or videos is a lot of fun, too.
Favorite nap spot: I have a really big bed in our living room, but there’s something special about the sofa. It’s the best nap spot.
Fitness regimen: My morning fitness regimen is playing and having the dogs at the dog park chase me, or I pull my Dad on the bicycle and run really fast for a few miles. Afterward I feel so relaxed and content for the day. In the evening, I enjoy a leisurely walk around the neighborhood.
Describe your perfect canine pal: Any canine who is willing to play with me is a friend of mine. If I had to describe a perfect canine pal, it would be one who’s not too small because I sometimes get so excited to play that I can be a little rough and I would want a pal who could keep up and run with me.
Describe your perfect day: Cookies in the morning followed by a trip to the dog park and snuggling on the sofa with my owners. Oh, and delivery of my monthly Chewy box because there’s always a little treat in there for me.
