Teachers’ Pets: Meet Pepino

Finally, she made it home and she is exhausted. She had to board three different planes, security did not let her though and she came home without any luggage. What was the problem? The problem was a little dog named Pepino. Pepino was bought at a gypsy market in Spain by Ms. Amanda Howard. He was sickly and small but Ms. Howard has loved him from the very beginning. She knew it was going to be hard getting him home, but she had to try. After many hours spent going though customs to straighten things out, it still didn’t work. “The reason I actually made it is because I met some really incredible people that helped me get home,” she remembers.

Pepino loves to be around others and play with his “amigos”. It is easy to make him happy, he enjoys himself while at the park, and is kind and gentle around others. The really cool thing is that he understands Spanish, the perfect dog for Ms. Howard. She can give him commands in Spanish and English, he understands both. Pepino is well behaved and is loved by everyone, but especially by Ms. Howard.

Ms. Howard loves to talk about him and they have a very close bond. Even though Ms. Howard had to go through security three times, leave all of her clothes in Spain, and she was exhausted, she would probably still say it was the best trip ever.
