This curly haired canine is named Teddy Roosevelt because "He has a big nose and barks softly," says his owner Truly Nolen. Teddy is a 2 year old Wire Haired Fox Terrier and he has a remarkable sense of time. He likes to go for 3 walks a day and "right at 5:05 he comes and gets me," says Nolen. While Teddy is a popular dog on the beach at Alki at home he "brings his binkies to bed," no doubt for security purposes. Nolen explained that these dogs are "your original 'rat dogs' in that they go after rodents and other small creatures.
