It wasn’t an easy start to life at the Menon household for Ginger, the mix-breed pup. He was a timid little lad, sad to be away from the rest of his siblings as unfortunately, they couldn’t all go to the same home.

However, with time, he came out of his shell, gaining confidence and today is a happy-go-lucky two-year old, who’s a firm member of the household.

In addition to being everybody’s darling, Ginger has befriended the workers of a hardware store near his home as well as the school kids who cycle past his gate every week day. Just don’t ask him about the newspaper man!

He became a sworn enemy after spraying water on Ginger just because the poor dog made a grab for the newspapers. After all, a dog’s got the right to know what’s going on in the world too!

When taking a breather from making friends with total strangers and perfecting his growls and snarls for the newspaper man, Ginger can be found rolling around the yard or wandering into the house, secretly exploring the different rooms when he thinks no one is looking.

As can be evidenced from the photos, Ginger is also something of a model. Ever ready to pose for a beauty shot, his repertoire of facial expressions is rather extensive – sleepy, pensive, bored, angelic – you name it, he can do it.

If any dog food company is interested, Ginger can be reached through his agent/owner.
