Info from Licensor: "My husband lost his best friend, his dog (red heeler) Mika, a few months ago. She went everywhere with him. She went to work with him on the sod farm every day and even rode the equipment with him. She was with him from the time he got up till he went to bed. He mourned her horribly. My daughter found a litter of pups who were born on his birthday and decided it was a sign. So we took a road trip with my granddaughters to pick one out. Boone was the one that really took to my 4-year-old granddaughter so he was the one. She kept it a secret for over two weeks! She got to deliver him to her Papa. We knew his reaction would be emotional but never expected this. He may be a big tough guy but he has an even bigger heart."
