POW! His Name Is Ted, Just Ted, And He’s Mighty, Mighty Sweet
“Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he’s owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes.”
— Gene Hill, Nature author

His name is Ted.
Not Edward, Eddie, Ed or even Theodore or Theo. It’s just Ted! Short, sweet and to the point — just like just Ted.
Ted
He appears to be a mix of a miniature Pinscher and a Chihuahua, about 5 years old, weighing in at around 11 and a ½ pounds, small, but mighty!
The question begs as to why this little guy was wandering the roads of unincorporated Aurora by himself. Was he tossed from his home because his owners could no longer keep him at their apartment? Or did he beg for attention too much and over time his family wearied of him?
No matter the reason, this little guy still has a zest for life, especially when he’s going for a walk. He’s had little or no training, but he seems extremely willing to learn and doesn’t show any dominance towards people.
Other dogs don’t intimidate him, unless they attempt to get too nosy. Then, he might give a little growl to let them know that that’s not an option. He definitely prefers larger male dogs to smaller female dogs, but it may be all in how his new family approaches getting him properly introduced.
His name is Ted, just Ted, and he’s little, but mighty, sweet and shy all at the same time. And all he wants is just a forever family to call his own and make him feel special!
