Darryl, most handsome dog in Adair Co., KY, at work 2015-04-02 - Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, 860 Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Peg Schaeffer. (1 Apr 2015) "I worked in the garden today," Peg Schaeffer writes, "And Darryl helped." The title, "Most Handsome Dog in Adair County," bestowed by the Darryl's human associates, has gotten widespread respect. Somehow, this Alpha Dog who wins hearts like a Sincere Politician - by dint of personality, has become very special. He may be known by name by far more people in the Adair County than any other dog, certainly more than many humans. When a few of the codgers think back to the Mayberry days in Columbia, KY, they remember that everybody knew dogs like they were their next door neighbors or favorite cousins. Not just the multitudes of Tippy's we had. But Corky. Bringer (soft G), Old Raymond, and Andy. If I were a dog, I'd think that was a Golden era, when like the song says, "Everybody knows your name." Those dogs are all gone. I hope others remember. I hope I didn't leave too many in the Dog Hall of Fame member out. - ED WAGGENER Permalink | Comments?
