My name is Jenna, and I am 11 years old. We adopted Tessa on my birthday, and I quickly realized that she loves belly rubs and lots of attention. Tessa’s full name is actually Tennessee Tessa because she was born in Tennessee. My dad says that she is very good at hunting. Tessa is a very sweet and loving dog. She is always excited when I come home from school. Tessa has affected my life by letting me love dogs even more and understanding why they are such great pets. I don’t think that I will ever get a better birthday gift than that. So, if you are thinking about getting a dog, I can assure you that it will be one of the best decisions that you will ever make!
