He spends his free time as a therapy dog visiting residents of nursing homes, and going to libraries so that children can practice reading aloud to him. He also helps us socialize our foster dogs, and is especially good with the shy, fearful ones.
He LOVES to dress up and have his picture taken, and will hold his pose as long as the camera is pointing at him. Here is one of the "outtakes" from his location shoot at the Lincoln Monument in Washington DC. As I was trying to get a good photo of him, I heard alot of commotion going on behind me. I turned to see a gallery of tourists taking his picture too. So I stepped back and got this shot of him with the "paparazzi."
Thanks again for supporting Wendell! I'm hoping that his prize will be something we can donate to the rescue we adopted him from to help another little homeless dog find their way to a loving new home. |
Reading this over, I realize that in my excitement, I totally forgot to congratulate all of the other Yorkies who got dressed up for the 2015 Halloween Costume contest. I am always blown away by the creativity, care and LOVE that goes into this each year. There are stories of animal cruelty and neglect everywhere you turn, but it is such a huge TREAT to see this gallery of pampered pooches. Many thanks to the organizers, sponsors and YTers who make it such a fun event!
