Do you have any pets?
Prince is our black and white Pitbull-Labrador Mix furry family member who is kind, intuitive, loving, and loyal. My favorite memory of Prince was when I was going through a difficult, heavy-hearted time. Without my saying a word, Prince came up to me and put his paw on my hand to comfort me. Prince holds a place in my heart.
