Tripawd Tuesday Featuring Wyatt Ray Dawg

My name is Wyatt Ray Dawg and I'm from Oaktown California.

I used to be a "guard dog" on a chain. The chain got wrapped around my leg when I was 8 months old and it hurt real bad. The people in my pack took me to a doctor but they forgot about me.

But that's OK. The doctor made me feel better  even though he chopped off my leg. Before I knew it, some peeps named Jim and Rene took me away from Oaktown and then woosh! I was livin in a doghouse on wheels.

Sometimes I'm in the mountains. Sometimes I'm in the desert. But no matter where I spend my days, I'm happy just be looking out for my peeps.

Guarding is my job. Wyatt is my name. Word.
