Neither has been "owned" by anyone.
Dottie, Ashes & Bell have lived at the fire station 24 hours a day. Each have served as public servants as well as stress releases which have so greatly assisted our firefighter's perspective and morale.
All have been unconditional friends to us.
Our dalmatian's AKC name is:
Sammie Bell Bauguess and she goes by "Bell".
"Sammie" in memory of Sammie Waddell, our firefighter killed in the line of duty in 1989.
"Bell" suggested by _________ of WD William's Elementary school and chosen by us for the connection the bell has for the fire service.
And "Bauguess" in deep appreciation to Robert & Sue Bauguess, from North Wilkesboro NC who donated Bell.
