India: Goa : Resident Dogs : Twinkle

Name: Twinkle
Gender: Female
Colour: White
Age: 2.5 years

Funny characteristic: Crawls along the ground on her belly like a worm when she gets excited.

Twinkle Having lived as Tina’s protégé for the past year Twinkle is learning to be the hard talking madam of the centre - 2nd to none except for Tina who won’t give up her spot so easily! She has bullying down to an art however she still sticks to fighting with the smaller dogs. She occasionally gets put in her place by the bigger ones much to everyone’s delight. She always looks to the centre staff for sympathy however everyone knows she asked for it. Twinkle has a gentle side to her as well and has a very affectionate personality. She loves to play chase and never says no to a cuddle. Her favorite friend is Bella with whom she grew up at the Palolem camp when this was initially set up in 2005. She has a secret crush on Giant but will never display her affections towards him in public. She has been spotted however nuzzling up to him on several occasions.
