Anything science diet.

Favorite Walk:
Going from the house to car to go to work. He loves riding in the car, especially if we are going to the shelter to work.

Best Tricks:
Nugget doesn't seem to have any tricks.

Arrival Story:
Nugget came into the shelter where I volunteer as a lost stray. No one ever claimed him. I just couldn't stand the idea of him being put in the dog room with all the loud big dogs, so I offered to "foster" him. I figured it wouldn't be a problem. I had fostered a much larger dog for a year and a half and gave him back to his owner without any problems. I even figured that because I didn't like "little dogs" that there was no way I'd get attached. Well, I did, and ended up adopting him myself after only two weeks.

Bio:
Nugget like most small dogs is always cold, so he has an entire wardrobe of sweaters and coats.

Forums Motto:
I'm bigger than everybody.
