Booda, an adorable Pekingese, needs a home to call his own

OK, don't tell my teacup Yorkie Emma that I'm smitten with another dog. Yes, she refuses to believe a person can share their love with more than one pet, so I guess it will be another case of unrequited love for yours truly. However, if you are looking for an adorable pooch to share your home, please consider adopting Booda (shown above).

Booda is a 15-year-old Pekingese, whose owner recently died. This perky pooch has a wonderful disposition. He loves to ride in the car, gets along great with other dogs and cats. Booda is totally housebroken -- he never barks and never makes a mess in the house.

If you can give Booda a home that will make his senior years more comfortable, call 973-886-1485 or e-mail Doggie54@optonline.net.
