Caden C. says whether there's "rain,
sleet or snow," his dog Gator "is
always ready to go." The black lab,
who turned three in February, loves
his "woobie" (his frisbee). "We taught
him to hunt, but somewhere in there
he taught himself to catch a frisbee,"
Caden said with a grin. Caden, his
mom and dad, and Gator, of course,
live in Fayetteville.
Besides playing frisbee, Gator has fun
helping Caden play basketball. "He's
always there to defend and rebound."
Gator knows his rights as the family
pet. "If you don't pay attention to him
while he begs with his eyes, he starts
with all his tricks — sit, roll over, speak
and high five." He has quiet times too.
"At night he comes and gets me at 6:00
on the dot to feed him, with a gentle
head laid on my shoulder. Then about
8:00 he does the same for dessert. His
favorite is strawberry ice cream!"
Caden said his family got Gator
when the dog was six weeks old
from a friend in Goshen, Arkansas.
