American dog
While his humans aren’t exactly sure of his breed, they do know that Russell is an All-American dog that overcame a rough upbringing. He ended up in the Lake Highlands home of Taylor Graetz after he was rescued from the street as a puppy. Now he’s content to spend time with his humans and is always quick to pass out puppy kisses. “Look at that face, how can you not love him?” Graetz says. Readers do love Russell, naming him the winner of the 2015 Advocate Pet Contest out of 614 votes.
