Hi!
I am Mojo, a two-year-old Labrador retriever (14 years in human age). If I were to describe myself, I would say I am playful, energetic and adorable. My family consists of my mom, dad, grandmothers, grandfathers, and last but not the least, my sister. I have been very naughty since I was born. I have to confess that I have eaten three socks, that is until now... The best part of my day is going for long walks with my family and meeting my doggie friends in the park. One of life’s mysteries I have been pondering over is why my sister’s friends back away when I just want to give them a sweet kiss and a warm hug? Woof, woof! (That means farewell)
My name is Mehek Mishra and I study in the 5th grade. I love the articles in the Pets & Us column. That is why I am sending you an article about my pet dog, Mojo.
