More: He is my late Dad-in-law’s dog/son. After my Dad-in-law passed away in 2019, we had the honor of taking him in as our own and it has been a blessing. Losing my father-in-law has been the most difficult thing our entire family has experienced but having Gooch around feels like a piece of my father-in-law is with us all the time. Gooch loves mini Reese’s peanut butter cups and bacon and eggs whenever he can get them. He loves tennis balls and if you say “squirrel” he (in his younger days) would run up a tree and jump off damn near doing a backflip. He truly is the best dog in the world.
