Keith Wire holds Alice, a dog the family rescued as a puppy.
Alice is now 17 years old and still occasionally spends time at the hardware store greeting customers.
Her birthday is July, the exact date unknown since she was found as a stray. Advertisements and flyers could not locate the original owners, so the Wires took her in. She has been part of the family for many years.
