You read about him in the publisher’s statement on page 5 of the current issue of Nelson County Life Magazine. This past weekend Jerky decided to show his face in public just to let folks know he’s not ashamed over that little carcass incident last month during the thunderstorm.

Jerky is quite the dog. Like most of us he enjoys having a cup of coffee and a scone before starting his day.

Jerky has become a bit of a social dog due to all of his exposure in the magazine. Here Milly Colella of Nellysford stops to ask Jerky for an autograph.

Knowing that his popularity began long ago as a puppy with kids petting him, he never gets too arrogant. Jerky loves kids and always makes time for a pet or a head scratch.

Though Jerky is very outgoing and much the social dog, he was a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention and folks at this weekend’s market. He just decided to plop right down in the middle of the tent and watch! No thunder and no carcasses!
