Daily News | Dogs at this Philly shelter started the holidays early with their pick of squeaky toys
Sandy plunged into the pile of toys with the bonkers energy of a kid on Christmas.Within seconds, the frisky terrier mix settled on a soft pink pig, chomping it repeatedly to produce a satisfying squeak. But ho-ho-ho there, little friend — just one toy per customer! The 15-pound canine had to be whisked away from the pile at the Pennsylvania SPCA in North Philadelphia so that another lucky dog could take a turn.
Both longtime dog owners, the sisters decided to collect the toys after hearing about a similar effort in California. Family and friends responded enthusiastically, and the effort also got a boost from an unexpected source: Charlie the pit bull mix took a turn after Sandy, briefly considering a Gumby toy and a few other brightly colored items. She finally walked off with a soft Santa clenched in her jaws, wagging all the way.
