Ed is well mannered and easy to handle

Ed is an approximately 3-years-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing 45 pounds. He’s a black pearl dressed in a shiny coat with sparking eyes and the most tender of smiles. Ed is relatively well mannered and easy to handle, stopping here and there to sniff but always responsive to his handler. He is one friendly and sociable dog, who is happy to make friends with everyone he meets. He’s long on kisses, gentle affection and charm.

The Newark Advocate will be profiling a dog a day in October from the Licking County Animal Shelter in honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
