Pet Parent's Name
Tara and Phil Willette

A short paragraph (250 words or less) that tells voters something fun or interesting about the pet in the photo. For example, is this a LCHS adoptee or rescue dog? How long has he or she been a part of your family?
This is Mearns. He lived in shelters for almost two years after being picked up as a stray. When we adopted him he was missing most of his hair and weighed 67 pounds. 7 years later, he weighs 98 pounds and is our baby. He is a 10 year old gentle giant with a heart of gold. He is the light of our life and the kindest animal ever.
