Our Friend Duke



Duke, a fifteen year old mix breed, passed over the Rainbow Bridge today.  Duke was an obedience competitor, a Barking Hills Canine All Star who appeared on Saturday Night Live, multiple commercials and print work as well as on two Lifetime webisodes:  Casabarka and The Dogfather, but his best work was saved for working with chronically ill children at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital.  He will be missed by owners Janet and Joe, his furry brother Chase, and everyone at Barking Hills.
