Introducing Peanut: The Brave Little Explorer from Brooklyn

Allow us to introduce Peanut, a 14-year-old Chihuahua Rat Terrier rescue from Brooklyn, NY. Despite her cautious nature, Peanut embraces adventures with bravery and a touch of playful curiosity. What are the charming traits that crowned Peanut as our August Dog of the Month? Let’s find out!

Three Words That Describe Peanut: Stubborn, Playful, Nosy

Peanut’s personality is a delightful blend of stubbornness, playfulness, and nosiness. As a former shelter dog, Peanut has demonstrated remarkable bravery, smoothly transitioning from a life of indoor comfort to daily walks and bike rides with her human, @lwickh. Her zest for exploration is only rivaled by her expressive features. Peanut doesn’t need barks to tell you how she feels; her animated face says it all. This silent yet spirited way of communicating makes her an irresistibly charming companion, always up for a new escapade.

Peanut’s Unique Skill: Chasing Pigeons

Peanut is typically a cautious pup, but she has one standout passion: chasing pigeons. Over the past two years post rescue shelter, she has developed a unique fascination with these particular birds, distinguishing them from crows, sparrows, and starlings with remarkable accuracy. Her deep-seated enthusiasm for pigeon-chasing is complemented by her impressive ability to identify stray cats. As a sibling to felines, Peanut has a clear sense of her territory and expertly chases away strays from her yard, showcasing her protective nature and sharp instincts. This blend of passion and perceptiveness not only highlights her individuality but also underscores the wisdom she brings to her everyday adventures.

Favorite Boogs & Boop Accessories Collection

Peanut’s go-to Boogs & Boop collection is the Boho Botanical dog-walking set, which includes an adjustable harness, flat lead, and poop bag holder. This set has quickly become a staple for Peanut’s outings, showcasing a delightful design adorned with various house plants that echo her mom’s passion for greenery and Peanut’s distinctive style. Additionally, as avid Kaiju fans, Peanut’s family adores the Dogzilla Kaiju Enamel Pin, celebrating their love for all things monstrous and fun.
