This is Josh; he is a neutered "Min-Pin" Miniature Pinscher that has been a resident of Historic Roanoke Island since he was only a few months old.
Josh is the alpha dog and oldest pet in his family.
Josh's family consist of a younger 6 year old German Shepherd, that Josh helped raise from a puppy, a 4 year old new adoption addition of a sister that is a miniature rat terrier & three cats.
Two of the cats Josh helped raised from kittens. The third was a black cat left by renters that Josh’s human Mom & Dad brought home & adopted over 7 years ago.
Josh has been nicknamed the "little Sheriff" by his human mom & dad because Josh keeps everyone in line.
On January 16th 2009, Josh turned 11 years old & had a special turkey dinner with his family.
