What makes your dog special? Send us your dog stories by Aug. 13 to bwashuk@sunjournal.com. Here Zoe poses with a pillow she just destroyed. (Bonnie Washuk/Sun Journal)

It’s the dog days of summer. Dog lover and Sun Journal Staff Writer Bonnie Washuk wants to know about your dog: Its funny habits. Its interesting behavior. Its ways of making you laugh out loud. Its fantastic tricks

Send Bonnie your dog stories, with a photo that will reproduce well, telling her why your dog is special. Email bwashuk@sunjournal.com or call 689-2806. Your deadline is Aug. 13. 

We’ll also be asking canine experts why dogs do what they do — for instance, why do they like to destroy pillows and why do they HAVE to get the squeaker out of the squeaky dog toy? If you have a question, send it along.

The “dog tails” will be published in an upcoming story in the Sunday B section.
