Casey Bradley, MCSG (Master Certified Shop Greeter)

This big white, fluffy, lovable dog is 9 years old and, we think, a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier mix. Casey was found running through the alley behind Pat & Bill’s house when he was around 4 months old. He takes his job as “Frame Shop Greeter” very seriously. Casey loves children, is very gentle and might greet you with a happy bark. The pose in the photo is a cross between “shake” and “please”. We hope you’ll enjoy Casey as much as we do.
