More: Jackson, aka Kayak Jack, appeared one cold, rainy morning in November. It was love at first sight. Ten years later, he still greets me every day when I come home from work with the same “happy tail” and sweet snuggles. He loves to kayak and paddle board with me on the lake. He snuggles in the bed with me and snores like a rhinoceros! He is fiercely protective of me and is just the best dog ever!
