Carson City, say hello to Ghost, our Carson City Human Society's Pet of the Week!

Ghost is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier with a whole bunch of tricks up his sleeve. He's a very good boy and knows how to sit, lay down, come, shake, and sit up pretty! Pretty impressive, I say.

He's an easy going pup just looking for a new home to perform his tricks.

Let's hear from Ghost himself!
