Meet our September SALT Pet of the Month, Misha! As far as her parents know, her name is Russian for teddy bear, and she is just as fluffy and cuddly as her name suggests. Misha is owned by the family of Shannon Brandt, who works at the Texas Comptroller’s office. Who wouldn’t want to come home to this sweet face after a long day of rulemaking or memo drafting?

Misha is a 5-month-old Airedale Terrier. Her current favorite treat is a tie between a peanut butter-filled Kong or licking the head of her feline best friend, Pepper. Misha recently graduated from puppy school and passed with flying colors. She’s still working on a few commands, like when her silly family tells her to stop chasing the cat, but she’s doing great with sitting for treats and walking nicely on her leash.

Misha is either a bouncing ball of energy or napping on the floor of Shannon’s office.

Welcome to the SALT Pet of the Month family, Misha!
