Dexter

ALF Firm Mascot

Dexter

Dexter was our mascot here at the Allen Law Firm for 12 beautiful years, and recently traveled over the rainbow bridge to Doggy Heaven. He loved to swim and was often found chasing tennis balls or Frisbees in the backyard. He graduated from J&K Canine Academy in 2015, and pursued further training in the field of obedience. He was considered an expert in his field.

He loved opening doors with his nose and visited ALF regularly to greet the staff and clients. He was often featured on billboards and commercials, and was the lead negotiator on the contract for large milk bones, as opposed to the medium-size ones that used to be provided to all dogs who visit ALF.  Dexter is dearly missed by the Allen’s and the ALF staff, but his memory will live on forever.
