That dog was brought to a veterinarian in Montana to be euthanized. He has severe joint issues and allergies, both requiring lifelong management and expensive medication, and his person just could not do it anymore.
One of the vet techs was a Newfie person and got his owner to release him to her. She put out the word and I saw it — and that is how that giant dog wound up living in a tiny Utah house with Dear Daughter.
His previous person was French and had named him Jean-Jacques but Dear Daughter never could get it right — and so his name transformed somehow to Jean Jacket 😂🤷🏼♀️
This is one of my favorite dogs in one of my favorite places — Karsten at 10 years and four months in the Truckee River…
