DPD K9 Dog of the day Sandor
Today’s canine of the day is Sandor. Here is what his partner has to say about him, my partner Sandor is a shepherd. He was born in Holland on March 25th 2014 and began his career with Dothan in December of 2016. Sandor loves tennis balls but pops them,”Quick, fast and in a hurry”. When Sandor is at work he is all business but when he is home he is a big teddy bear that wants to lick you to death and play. Long story short, Sandor is my best friend and the most loyal partner anyone could ask for.
DPD K9 of the day Paul
Today’s dog of the day is canine Paul. Here is what his partner says about him, At work Paul is a hard worker and full of energy. Paul loves his job and would spend everyday at work if he could. He loves his ball but is stubborn and doesn’t like to give it up when it’s time for bed. He has no idea how big he is and his tail is constantly knocking things over. He is a goofy gentle giant and is my best friend.
