Meet Willow (left) a 10-month-old Great Dane and Dozer, 3 years. They, and owner Hugh Phillips of Ada, attended the opening of the Ada Dog Park on Saturday. Great Danes are known as gentle giants and the personality of these two lived up to their reputation. Although there were numerous other dogs at the park at that time, Willow and Dozer romped and chased with all of the puppies, size didn’t matter. Willow is in training to be a PTSD service dog to help Hugh, who served three tours of duty during Desert Storm. (Monty Siekerman photo)
