Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Daisy Shaw!
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Daisy Shaw
Age: 9
Breed: Beagle/blue heeler mix
Hobbies: Chasing foxes and deer, being a great running partner, driving her skull into people’s faces, sniffing around.
Worst moment: On more than one occasion, Daisy has darted off after a deer, leading to a multi-hour chase trying to get her back.
Best moment: In her humans’ worst moments, she sticks right beside them, never leaving their side and expecting nothing more than their company.
Maura McDonough is a principal at Dewey Square Group.







What a great dog!! I can imagine one of your worst moments, however, may have been when she darted off after the deer!! An "oh deer!!" moment.
So, Daisy, you're a face planter, huh? Remember to do it with love, not trouble, in mind. Although that may not always be safe! When my Irish setter was 6 months old, she ran smack into my face while playing and gave me a black eye. Trained me to look out for her and not the other way around...
