Eric Higgins with Ginger. Eric had taken the new puppy over to show grandma and grandpa, Ora and Ruth Hickerson. Ginger was the pet that Eric and his father wanted but his mother did not. Dale and Eric used to drive out to Geode State Park and on the way out there there was always this big dog. It was a mix between a black lab and golden retriever. They stopped and talked to the dog’s owner to find out what breed the dog was. When Eric was a freshman in high school, his father came to him with the evening newspaper, and it had an ad for black lab golden retriever puppies to give away. Dale and Eric snuck over to the house without Carol knowing it. Some puppies were all black, but what they really wanted was the goldish red one like the dog they had always admired. They placed all of the gold puppies and set them on the driveway. Eric went to the end of the driveway and when the owner set the puppies down, this one puppy just ran straight to Eric. It was just like as soon as he set them down, all of the puppies went everywhere, but one ran straight to Eric and that was the one they picked. They picked the name Ginger because of her coloring and because Dale had a favorite pet with that name when he was a child.
