Meet Chesley Sullen-barker
May 29, 2009
I took my kids out for ice cream after their baseball game tonight, and we ran into the nicest dog at the ice cream shop. His human said he had lost his front leg in a car accident and then went to the Humane Society, where they met. The man was looking for a hero’s name for the dog, and had just about settled on Chesley Sullenberger III (after the pilot who successfully ditched his plane in the Hudson), when his daughter suggested a slight change: Chesley Sullen-barker!
What a great dog!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
