This is Ellie, a 4 year old Apricot Fawn pug, she's Teddy's cousin living in Texas.
For the past two years Ellie competed in Agility earning the top title of #1 Pug in the United States in two agility categories, no small feat for such a small dog. Unfortunately in October of 2008 Ellie had an accident on the practice field which left her paralyzed on both her back legs and with two herniated discs in her back. Luckily she regained the use of her legs but can no longer compete in Agility. So, Ellie being the strong willed pug that she is, she tried out and was accepted by a dog therapy group in San Antonio, TX. Ellie visits civilian and military hospitals, nursing homes and elementary schools. She wears her little Therapy Dog vest with her name embroidered on the side and a big smile on her pug face. Ellie is one "pugnacious" pug!
