To serve or not to serve.
“We only handle adult dogs here, ages 3 and up,” McCubbin said.
Yes, he was joking. Although she is dog age, Evo, a female hybrid, is 35 years old in human years.
None of the dogs were actually given adult human beverages, but they did get lots of treats, lots of hugs, and lots of time with people who stopped by.
