He may not be the furriest one on our team, but he is by far the most-attention loving! Making his debut at Dunwoody’s famous Lemonade Days festival, the Citizen Reserve’s newest member does love stealing the spotlight. Although he endured without warning an average of nine hours per shift at three community events, Jasper greeted each and every loving, curious, and sometimes overzealous passerby with enthusiastic tail thumping and sloppy kisses.
This sweet and unique pup came to us unexpectedly as an Easter gift. Members of our team and citizens that interact with him continually comment with amazement at what an incredibly docile and giving spirit he is, especially at only four and a half months old. He takes his new job seriously and made us glow when he marched in the parade at Tucker Day two weeks ago. Donning his C.E.R.T. vest proudly, he seemed to instinctively know the importance of leading and representing the long line of fire and rescue trucks behind him. With all the onlookers from both sides of the street reaching for him, clapping, pointing, and smiling, he didn’t once veer off the path, fall behind, or sneak a taste of the tempting festival fare scattered on the road.
There’s something so bright and special about an animal welcomed into a loving home after being found wandering in the streets; his every action is founded in gratitude as he settles into his new life instantly, showing true example of living in the now.
