I know I’m not the youngest member of this K-9 reporting team, but I am the smallest. I am an Alaskan Klee Kai, which is a miniature sled dog. Some humans think that I look a lot like a Siberian. My breed began in Alaska and you can find lots of information about my breed by doing a search on the Internet.

I was born in Texas three years ago and now I live in South Dakota. I love to travel and learn about lots of different things. When I was young, I wanted to be a ‘show dog’. I tried hard to learn the skills, but after many months of practice, I decided that line of work wasn’t for me. I would much rather spin around in circles when I walk then walk a straight line. I do like everyone to look at me and admire me. I am very special and I like to dress up fancy sporting hats, coats, and sparkly jewelry.

I decided with my love of travel and my love of telling everyone about what I see and do, I should go to K-9 journalism school. I met the other team members on a video conference and had so much fun brainstorming about project ideas that I decided I wanted to be a member of this journalistic team. My dream of being a K-9 fashion model will have to wait until I see how this career works out.

My job on this team will be to tell you about ‘little’ things that are interesting. That doesn’t mean everything I write about is little — like me! It could be that I write about a big thing, but it is a detail that you will find interesting. You can call me the little reporter who is in chare of big details!

I am glad you’ll be reading Zuma’s Paw Prints. I look forward to you writing letters and articles as I work with Zuma and the other team members. Be sure to tell Zuma how cute and smart I am! Oh, tell her my little details are great, too! You’ll be hearing from me soon. I’m going to take a couple days vacation now, maybe fly down and watch a sled dog team that is practicing on the beaches in Jamaica. I’ve got my beachwear and sunglasses all packed. Now where did I put my camera?

 Here is more about me…  I might be little, but I like to share details with others!

Libby here!

I am the smallest member of the Iditarod K-9 team of reporters. I weigh about 8 pounds. I am four years old so I am ‘all grown up’!

I am an Alaskan Klee Kai, which is a miniature sled dog. Some humans think that I look a lot like a Siberian. My breed began in Alaska and you can find lots of information about my breed by doing a search on the Internet.

I was born in Texas. I moved to South Dakota. I love to travel and learn about lots of different topics. When I was young, I wanted to be a ‘show dog’. I tried hard to learn the skills, but after many months of practice, I decided that line of work wasn’t for me. I loved the way everyone would look at me in the show ring. It made me so happy that I would start to spin when I walked instead of walking in a straight line when my human would say, ‘Heel”.

My full name is Dawn of Liberty.  I was born on the 4th of July!

I am very special and I like to dress up fancy sporting hats, coats, and sparkly jewelry. Show dogs don’t get to wear those special costumes, so being a reporter is probably a much better job for me. Humans and people should choose a job that they like. I have lots of ideas of what I can be someday. I’m exploring my options.  For now, I’m going to dress up and go on assignments to get some interviews. 

I decided with my love of travel and my love of telling everyone about what I see and do, I should go to K-9 journalism school. I met Zuma and the other team members at school and had so much fun brainstorming about project ideas that I decided I wanted to be a member of this team. My dream of being a K-9 fashion model will have to wait until I see how this career works out.

My job on this team will be to tell you about ‘little’ things that are interesting. That doesn’t mean everything I write about is little – like me! It could be that I write about a big thing, but it is a detail that you will find interesting. You can call me the little reporter who is in charge of big details!  AND as you might guess, it’s the little details that are important in the big world wide picture!

I hope you like my stories.  Some of my stories will be cute, just like me!

Just spinning some D’tails’!
