Pete, thank-you for being the most genuine guy a person could meet!
“A boy and his dog make a glorious pair: No better friendship is found anywhere, For they talk and they walk and they run and they play, And they have their deep secrets for many a day; And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels, Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.”
In memory of Pete and Casey
There is not much in the world Pete loved more than his faithful companion Casey. Please consider a donation to NWAS in memory of Pete.
