I remember my first dog, the one that will have a place in my heart forever. We were babies together and I used to draw pictures about taking him to school with me. We have a few snapshots of him off to one side on the front lawn or laying by the fireplace when the winters got cold but that’s pretty much it. He was such a great friend.

Now this family has priceless memories with their first amazing dog, the one that will be in all their innocent memories of true loyalty and love.
