It seemed like the “in” dog when I was growing up was a German Sheppard. Duke was a beautiful dog. He was extremely loyal and overprotective of me. I don’t know why; I tried to stuff him in my toy chest as a kid. I thought he was a toy. No worries, he was in there for 30 seconds, and I got a lecture from my mother that still makes me shiver in fear.

Last week, we let you know that the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter is hosting a special June adoption series. These adoption deals promote a small fee of $10.
