Dora Hester

Dora came into her family's life as a tiny, chunky puppy, when her dad came across a man who had a litter of puppies for sale, and she quickly grew into a big, energetic companion. Dora's journey from a small bundle of fur to a loving, friendly dog was a testament to the love and care she received from her family, and the love she gave in return. Dora's protective instincts matched her affectionate demeanor, ensuring that every family member felt safe and loved. The love for her family was perhaps most evident in her insistence on being a part of every aspect of their lives. No one could even use the bathroom without Dora waiting patiently on the other side of the door. The princess of her home, sunbathing on the porch became one of her favorite pastimes, basking in the warmth of the sun's rays while keeping a watchful eye on the world around her.

She will be missed by Darryl, Emily, and her two brothers. You never realize just how much you appreciate the sound of a dog's paws tip-tapping through the house until the sound is not there anymore.
