PET OF THE WEEK

DEACON

Deacon is a 1-year-old registered Golden Retriever who enjoys living on the beach in Newport, according to his caretakers.

Deacon’s family does their best to keep him active and happy, but there simply isn’t enough time between the family’s work schedules and the children’s activities to give him the time that he really needs.

Deacon loves the water and body surfs, his caretakers said.

He likes walks with the family and carries his own leash.

Deacon is a big baby and a great family dog.
