Pet of the Day: Say hello to Fitz
/ News
French Bulldog Fitz loves sitting on his owner Sophie Stammers' lap and hanging out with his sister, Tucker.
The adorable 1 year, four month old from Sidcup also loves eating rawhides but does not like being separated from Tucker, plastic bags or loud noises.
Sophie explained that to most people, Fitz isn't particularly special - though we think you'll probably disagree.
She said: "To me he is a loyal, loving, obedient dog who trusts me with everything he's got. Oh, and he is pretty cute!"

The young raven fledgling who visited Cleary's Nova Scotia home last month had just borne the brunt of a porcupine attack, and was clearly reaching out to Cleary for help in extracting the painful quills that were attached to its face.
Her daughter caught the amazing incident on camera and uploaded it to YouTube.
According to the description, the bird, which the family named Wilfred, stuck around for a day after the "operation" before flying away.
Hope for Wildlife director Hope Swinimer commended Cleary on her actions, saying Wilfred would not have survived without her help.
Quoth the Raven: "Thanks lady!"

Rooting for OSU against Nebraska and MSU is the effect of being in separate divisions. It's painful. I hate that the Big Ten has diminished the rivalry while upping the MSU and creating the Nebraska rivalry.
"Jim's a tough guy and you can see his personality is all over this football team," Fitzgerald said.
