Rescued puppy dances for treats and love in Belize

Buddy is a very happy puppy who is now living the good life in a loving forever home in Belize. A mixed breed, he is part chihuahua, part terrier, part dachshund and possibly some other parts. His home is Belize, and the mixed breed dogs that run around on this island are referred to as "potcakes". The name comes from the old tradition of leaving pots outside by the back door after food had been badly burned and had become stuck on the pot. Far easier than washing them, the pots would be scraped clean by the hungry little stray dogs that roamed the streets at night. The dogs were often such a mix of breeds that it was a wild guess what breeds the pups had come from.
Buddy is a lucky little fellow who will be well cared for by his new family. Nito, known in the scuba diving world as "Big Sexy" has become very attached to the pup already and he has been teaching him some adorable tricks. Buddy loves approval and he will do anything that Big Sexy asks, just for a pat on the head and a kind word. But he is even more eager when there are treats involved. On this occasion, Buddy got a belly full of healthy treats for working so hard. Buddy's short legs make it difficult for him to keep his balance and he is adorably clumsy as dances and stretches upwards.
Buddy is living on San Pedro Island and he is a favourite among the scuba diving staff at Chuck & Robbie's Dive Shop and also with the guests, as they slowly return to this scuba diving paradise. Buddy is always very eager to accompany Big Sexy to work, and to hang out on the pier and around the dive shop.
Buddy is one of the happiest dogs on the planet and he has fit in perfectly with his family.
