The Star of the Show

Darla the dog
Marcia Sullivan

Our Pet of the Week is Darla, a lively 20-pound terrier mix with a passion for chasing baby rabbits, as affectionately captured in “Darla’s dance” video by her human, Sullivan.

Known for their strong hunting instincts, terriers like Darla have a knack for tracking down prey, a trait inherited from their history of vermin-hunting. Despite her best efforts, Darla’s rabbit chase in the video was all in good fun.
