Dutch was a lab-shepherd rescue who showed up in my life when he was about 6 months old. He was found in the Dutch Flat area, his namesake. He flourished in a warm, loving home and led a long, happy life of 12 and a half years. Dutch was a sweet, gentle soul. He always had a smile and would “lean” in to you to show his affection. He loved to go on adventures, play with toys, and most of all, be with his family and friends. Dutch embraced people everywhere he went and found his way into so many hearts. He was truly a special companion and best friend.
