Hershey happily goes to the dogs

After a request from BJ Alums blog, Bill Hershey, a BJ reporter who came to Akron from the Dayton Daily News and returned to Dayton after leaving the BJ, recalls his history with dogs.

A report on our dog inventory:

Bill and Marcia Hershey with (L-R)
Shadow, Sam and the late Sambuca

Rover lived about 17 years and did lots of roving -- he was never "fixed" but we had that done with future dogs and they didn't wander as much.

Ike followed Rover and lived about 17 years. We also had Sambuca (now deceased) and currently have Sam(antha),  hard to tell what breed; Shadow, part chow; and Olga, part Doberman.

Along the way we helped care for our daughter's dog Bessee, a basset, also deceased.

 It's become a hobby!
