Duke Finds a Home

 Duke’s Success Story

By Doni Bowersox

On September 27^th, Canine Creek was having a pet adoption day and both my daughters wanted to see if there would be any Labradors for adoption. While walking by, we saw a lot of different kinds of dogs but no labs until we met Zach from Marley’s Mutts. Lying quietly behind him was Duke, a Chocolate Lab/Mix. The dog looked so relaxed and maybe a little depressed that I wasn’t sure about him at first. Zach convinced us that he really was more energetic than he looked. He was probably a little overwhelmed with all the little dogs barking. So we decided to adopt him and we are so happy that we did. Duke is the best dog ever. He is so gentle and loving. He goes on long runs with my older daughter, Sarah, and is very energetic.

We also ended up with a puppy that a lady was giving away in front of Kmart that same day. The little puppy is a lab/mix. The girls thought that a puppy would be good for Duke and fun for them, too. At first Duke was annoyed by the little guy, but now they love being together. Duke is a great role model for the young puppy.  

Thanks to Marley’s Mutts for rescuing dogs like Duke.
