Our Pet of the week is Sugar, a 10-year-old female Maltese, who belongs to Arnoud Donker of McDonough. “This breed originates from the Island of Malta located in the Mediterranean Sea. She is a gentle, playful, inquisitive and loving dog. Sugar is admired and treasured for her white coat, expressive eyes and gentle attitude. I have had her now for about seven years.

Sometimes she can be a brat (depending on her mood) and barks enough to wake up the neighborhood. She is cheerful when I come home, and she lets me know when it is time for a treat or if she needs to go outside. Sugar (Donker) is the joy in my household,” said Arnoud.
