“Every from time to time while we’re out taking her on a walk, individuals will come near her and wish to pet her,” Drew Williams said. “We’ll caution them ahead of time ‘Hey, she gets along however she may slobber on you,’ and every so often she will, and they’ll have a huge slobber mark on their black trousers.”
