Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 4, 2015

NOTE: You might say that the Ada Icon has gone to the dogs - it a good way. Welcome to the Ada Icon's newest feature. It focuses on man (and woman's) best friend.

Say "Hello," to Alice in Hardwareland.

Keith and Kathy Wire hold Alice, their 16-year-old dog who has been a fixture of sorts for many years at the Ada business they own, Keith’s Hardware.

Many years ago, Alice was abandoned at the store. The Wires tried to find the owners without success, so they took her in.

Alice has been the store’s mascot for a long time.
