We adopted Luke from a no kill shelter in 2003, when he was a six month old pup. We were advised that Luke had been adopted twice but had been brought back to the shelter because he was chewing up anything he could get in his mouth and could not be trained. Anna, the shelter owner said, "All he needs is to be taught a few manners. We're still working on that, but Luke is the sweetest dog we've ever had and very much a family member.
