This is our girl Margo. My husband rescued her from a shelter in Long Island when she was 3 years old, now she is 9 and still behaves like a puppy. Margo loves to go after the squirrels in our backyard, long walks and loves asking for treats throughout the day. She is the sweetest girl around people but not so friendly at first with other dogs; she likes the attention to herself. Margo is the light of our family and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
