Scout was an ambitious, active, and happy-go-lucky dog. She ate everything in sight and always made us laugh.
When she died, I thought my world would fall apart. I willed myself to be strong and every night I would pray to her. She blessed me with the beautiful nephew I have today. I know this because he is exactly like her. Ambitious, active, and happy-go-lucky.
