Tusker: Ready for a Swim Anytime

Tusker is the Detmer family's black Labrador Retriever and will be 9 years old in April. However, he still acts like a puppy in many ways. Tusker is patient, sweet and listens to almost all commands - he won’t even take food that has been dropped on the ground unless given an okay! His biggest fear is slipping on the hardwood floors throughout the house since he once fell down the stairs as a puppy.

He loves walks around his Edgewood neighborhood and will say hi, loudly, to any dog or person walking by. He loves having “fits” in the snow during the winter and can’t wait to swim in any body of water in the summertime.

Sometimes Tusker will even take a trip down to the beach by himself for a quick cool down dip! He is very loved by his entire family, especially his brothers Luke, Charlie and Grey!
