Comox Valley's Luna, a rescue from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is currently sitting in second place in a contest that sees her up against dogs from all over North America. 

The three-year-old chihuahua mix has made her way up the ranks in Modern Dog香蕉视频直播檚 annual "America香蕉视频直播檚 Favorite Dog" competition. The feisty, underbite-sporting girl has risen from the top ten, to the top five and is setting her sights on first place. 

Rebecca Lyons, Luna香蕉视频直播檚 human, laughs as she recounts her favourite things about Luna.

香蕉视频直播淚 think it香蕉视频直播檚 the way she looks at you sometimes. And if her lips are curved or not, her underbite will show. It香蕉视频直播檚 quite funny. She just gives you this stare that says 香蕉视频直播業香蕉视频直播檓 ready for food香蕉视频直播� or 香蕉视频直播業香蕉视频直播檓 ready for a walk.香蕉视频直播� She also has these piercing eyes. When I first got her I had to get used to that. Her eyes are so unusual,香蕉视频直播� shared Lyons. 香蕉视频直播淪he香蕉视频直播檚 always doing something funny, she likes to run off with my socks.香蕉视频直播�

Luna has made her way through Basic Training at PetSmart, moving forward to Intermediate in February, after which Lyons has plans to put her through training to become a certified Therapy Dog.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e talked to a couple of places that do that. There香蕉视频直播檚 a lady in Qualicum who does the therapy dog training once your dog has been through the first two training sessions.香蕉视频直播� 

If Luna goes on to take top prize in Modern Dog香蕉视频直播檚 contest, Lyons wants to give back to the rescue that she got Luna from, as well as set up a veterinary fund in case Luna needs any care in the future. A playmate for Luna is also on the horizon, though Lyons is unsure if she will adopt locally or go through Sula Society again. 

香蕉视频直播淚 wanted to adopt local but it all depends on where you find the right fit. The Comox Valley SPCA mostly had large dogs and Sula did such a wonderful job. They shared pictures and videos of Luna, so even though I didn香蕉视频直播檛 get to meet her at the beginning, I felt like I knew her,香蕉视频直播� explained Lyons.

There was quite the ordeal of getting little Luna to her forever home from the rescue society. A 香蕉视频直播楩light Angel香蕉视频直播� had to be found - a human companion that could bring Luna on their flight back from Mexico to an airport close to the Valley. While awaiting her flight with her angel, Luna escaped and spent days back on the run while Sula Society, neighbours and hotel guests all joined in to bring her back.

香蕉视频直播淟una was about to fly out the next day and she escaped right before the flight. She scooted out the door, she is pretty fast. Then I got the call, my dog was missing!香蕉视频直播�

It's not surprising that Luna was able to escape and take off from her Flight Angel. Lyons shares how Luna gets 香蕉视频直播渢he zoomies香蕉视频直播� and is unstoppable.

香蕉视频直播淗er little butt goes down and she just flies! I香蕉视频直播檝e never seen zoomies like that before, I香蕉视频直播檝e had other dogs before, but her zoomies are quite entertaining. Afterwards, she香蕉视频直播檚 panting really hard, but she might go again.香蕉视频直播�

Lyons wonders about what Luna香蕉视频直播檚 life might have been like on the streets of Mexico, not knowing what she had to do everyday to survive. 

香蕉视频直播淚 wish they could talk to us and tell us their story, you know, what they香蕉视频直播檝e been through, so we could help them with whatever issues they may have. Luna has a scar under her chin, I think they did something to her on the street.香蕉视频直播�
