Feature creature

Dawson had a hard time sitting still for his photo shoot at the Spokane County Regional Care and Protection Services shelter. He whined and fidgeted, eager to be off the leash and running around. In dog years Dawson is a teenager, so he’ll need to have nice long walks and a ball to fetch to burn off his high energy. He was found wandering in the area of Eighth Avenue and Coleman Street on Feb. 9.
