I'm Frodo and here's my story. It took my human parents three hours to pick between me and my brother. They knew I was the runt and was very active and weren't sure they could handle my special needs. I decided to just be myself and they'd see what a great dog I was. It worked. On the way home, I was scared and hid under the towel on my new mom's lap. They discussed names for me and when they said Frodo (the main character in "Lord of the Rings"), I popped my head out from under the towel, and it was so.

I'd say I was a born performer. Everywhere I go, I entertain adults and children alike. I know lots of tricks, even though I'm only a year old. My one downfall is because I'm so short, I need to jump up on people to get closer. Not everyone appreciates my muddy paws. It delights most people, so I continue to do it, even though it causes my parents much embarrassment.

I love my visits from Karen The Pet au Pair. She showers me with love (and treats) and we have a great time together. I wish my parents didn't work from home so she could visit me more often. I'm honored to be the featured pet on my favorite website.
