The pet I’ll never forget: Jerry, the king of dogs, who taught me how to live
After a burglary, my parents decided we needed extra security. Jerry was the answer – and this hungry, handsome hound helped us all in countless ways
TL;DR
- Jerry was adopted as a rescue puppy after a family experienced a burglary.
- He became a therapy dog, helping the family cope with stress and teenage issues.
- Jerry had an unusual appetite, preferring to dine at the table and enjoying deli foods.
- He was also popular with other dogs, known for his charm and 'je ne sais quoi'.
- Jerry lived for 14 years, and his absence left a significant void, but his memory taught the author to 'eat, play, love'.
