Passers-by on Clearwater Road couldn't miss Tara.
The Siberian husky would greet people by sitting in a folding chair in his owners' front yard. He rested his head on the armrest, with his legs dangling off the chair.
Denise and Thom Yaeger, Tara's owners, knew it was pretty unusual to have a dog watch the world from a lounge chair outside their St. Cloud home. The 13-year-old dog attracted some fans.
But the Yaegers didn't know the extent of Tara's popularity until he died Oct. 13 of spleen cancer. Since Tara's death, strangers have sent cards and left notes and flowers remembering him.
The condolences keep coming, and the Yaegers are touched.

Great dogs.
But they can be hard to train and it’s certainly not due to a lack of intelligence on their part.

They are very handsome dogs. Not an easy breed to own, I understand, but beautiful.

The composition of, and story that photo tells, combined to literally bring a tear to my eye.
Well done, whomever assembled and took that shot.
Wow is all I can say.

Their eyes are scary. But the ones I know are well-behaved, but not especially friendly.

Their eyes are scary. It's just the wolf looking at you.
