However, Chevy says, next time how about FOOD ?!?!?!?

We are getting closer to finding our perfect Spokesdog at Rikki’s Refuge, and many of the dogs have been interviewed. The other day Buzz stepped up to take the test. The sweet little beagle mix was very shy at his interview, but that is his nature.

How did that interview go? Buzz explained why he was the best to do the job:

Buzz knows his way around the Refuge, and has paid close attention to what he has learned from Beauty.

Buzz prides himself on being the cutest, nicest guard dog at Rikki’s. Can he do the hard jobs? Well, that was another story.

Buzz has never taken on an assignment to go to special events that help increase funding or improve knowledge of what Rikki’s Refuge is all about. Why not? He is too shy to face hoomans that he does not know.

Can Buzz face a group of kids and talk about animals with different abilities? Buzz fessed up, he is too shy to handle these types of events.

“I am still learning about how to be a good Spokesdog, and Beauty and Wanda have been good teachers. Maybe I will be ready by the next vote” said Buzz, who is hoping his mentors will be selected. Buzz is an honest and loyal little guy. That’s why we all love him!
