Pet Connection: Best Friends of Great Falls

Sonya Bingham, Leesburg resident, Junior Groomer at Great Dogs of Great Falls, with Nut, Miniature Poodle: “He is kind of a pain, but he is a little bit of a clown at the same time. He’s a very sweet little dog; he makes me laugh. He gets on my nerves and it’s hard to get mad at him because he’s so cute. He’s still a puppy, so it’s easy to forgive him.”

Phil Fairclaugh, Great Falls resident, Television Producer, with Bella, Goldendoodle: “I like her speed. She’s pretty quiet. She’s pretty fast; she’s deceptively quick. And you know, she’s amusing. She’s quite nice to look at. She’s not obnoxious. She’s a very good guard dog because she’s loud.”

Michelle Zadeh, Great Falls resident, Real Estate Agent with Gigi, Shih Tzu: “Gigi brought so much positive energy into our household. We never owned any pets before, and this was our first pet ever and I regretted not having more pets a long time ago. She just brings a lot of joy and happiness into our life. They give you unconditional love. Any mood that you are in, they can feel it and just them being there changes your mood.”

Katie Fultz, Great Falls resident, with Mick, Black lab and Pit Bull mix: “He’s my best friend. He’s been my best friend for 8 years. He’s like my shadow; he’s always close by. When I’m happy he’s happy, when I’m sad he won’t leave my side. He’s crazy smart. He also knows how to use a zipper, so you can’t have any food inside a purse or backpack because he will find it.”
