Buddy Lee Tweedie was born sometime around 2003 He was picked up by animal control and eventually made his way to a shelter called Orphans of the Storm. When Alex and Lesley met Buddy he was about 1 year old and he was very sad. Over time Buddy became less sad but he still usually has a worried look on his face. He works as a lazy greeter at Roscoe Village Bikes. He likes other dogs so feel free to bring yours by but he might bark at it just because he always has to say something.
In December 2007 Lesley and Alex decided to launch the Buddy Fan Club because Buddy had made so many friends. The launching included a coloring activity and candy cane give away at Roscoe Village Neighbor’s Winterfest. The Buddy Fan Club buttons cost $5.00 and all proceeds go to charities that help dogs and people. Previous Buddy Fan Club beneficiaries have been Orphans of the Storm in Riverwoods, IL where Buddy is from, PAWS Chicago and the Anti-Cruelty Society.
