More: Raleigh came to our family as a rescued puppy mill dog 2 years ago. He had lived in cage indoor all of his life, and was terrified of EVERYTHING. One day I had my kayak in the garage, and Raleigh ran out and jumped right in. I took a chance and let him come along to the lake with me and was so surprised- he loved it! Raleigh has been my kayak buddy ever since, and is always up for an adventure!
