The Pet Shop
My Pet: Tater
Name of pet: Tater
Age: 1 year
Resides in: Winston-Salem
Breed: Pit Bull
Male or female: Male
Owner: (doesn't have to be real name but must be publishable) Amy
How owner and pet came together: He was hitchhiking on the side of I-85 when I found him, and he was only 8 weeks old.
Best trick: Pretending he has no idea what we are saying to him, especially in front of company. Second best is sitting in front of his food bowl without touching it at all, no matter how long you ask him to wait, until he’s told it’s time to eat.
Favorite activity: Fetch, until he drops in exhaustion.
Is there anything else we should know about this pet? (i.e., likes/dislikes, act of heroism, quirk etc.) He truly believes he weighs not 58 pounds, but 5.8 pounds. So he insists that he is the perfect size to sit in someone’s lap.
