Don't forget Dusty!

Dusty joined the team just over three years ago. He's not your typical breed of dog, he's a mix between Kuwait desert dog and golden Labrador retriever. This was discovered this through some research Rhyan did for a class project in 2nd grade. He learned that the Kuwait desert dog is one of the oldest indigenous canines, and typically found accompanying Bedouin tribes in the Middle East region.

Dusty's unique lineage gives him some interesting characteristics. He's very pack-loyal, so if you're a part of his pack, he loves you. But if you're not a part of the pack, watch out! He's apt to show his fangs first and ask questions later.

Dusty's list of talents include. but are not limited to: barking at imaginary objects; security; linguistics - he understands English (only when it suits him), Malayalam (a dialect from Kerala, India) and dog-speak (which sounds more like incessant barking or howling - especially when he wants a treat).

Dusty is mentally preparing for his first flight on a plane. He's trying to get used to the confinement of a pet carrier, but so far, there's no luck with that. He's going to have an ID chip subcutaneously implanted soon. There aren't enough Milk Bonz on the planet to get over that!
