Jesse, age 1

I'm Jesse, a chocolate Labrador puppy. I moved from the country to live with the Brazda family. I was named after my beloved grandpa, Jerome Jesse. My mom even wrote a book about me, Jesse Unleashed. I have done a bit of chewing... on the couch, wooden chairs, and even the armoire, but I have also learned many tricks, like handshakes and high fives with my big puppy paw! I'm a city dog now, and even learned how to go up the elevator where I live. My favorite thing to do is to retrieve tennis balls and run in the park, where I have my own doggie play group. People say I am super friendly and kind, so I am soon going to work on getting my AKC Good Citizenship, so I can go with Mom to her book signings and bring good cheer to hospitals, schools, and older folks' homes when I join a therapy-dog group.
