More: Chesney is my dream dog. I have wanted a German Shepherd since my Uncle Wayne had one when he was on the police force. Chesney is named after Kenny Chesney the only concert I have ever been to. At 46 its kind of sad, but this is where he comes in the best, he helps with my anxiety. His middle name is Ken, but he is named after my son's daycare provider husband who passed away. He saved my son's life.
