We were selling hot dogs from a mobile cart for three years before we finally got a permanent place. We were selling them at all of the chamber events. We would be at the car shows, the street fairs and the Fourth of July celebrations.

We were really inspired by the Lord to open this place. We originally bought it in 2003. We had it for so long and all these delays kept happening. There was a burglary, and we had to take care of our foster kids, but we never gave up. We just kept going, and that's what we want to let others know.

We wanted to do this and be a part of the community. What better way to get to know others than be opening up a restaurant? We just wanted to do this to keep helping others.

Because dogs live in the present. Because dogs don't hold grudges. Because dogs let go of all their anger daily, hourly, and never let it fester. They absolve and forgive with each passing minute. Every turn of a corner is the opportunity for a clean slate. Every bounce of a ball brings joy and the promise of a fresh chase.

The very best thing about dogs is how they just know when you need them most, and they’ll drop everything that they’re doing to sit with you awhile.

The greatest fear dogs know is the fear that you will not come back when you go out the door without them.
