Luke 6891 Australian Shepherd & Shepherd Mix Rogers, AR

The photographer loves his chance to watch the entertainment provided by Humane Society canines. He was old enough to wait in a line stretching around a large city block to eventually get access to a first day showing of Star Wars and was rewarded a seat at the end of the front row closest to the curved screen. It was a blurry but mind-blowing entrance into the new world of superb Sci Fi ambiance. For those of you who never had that chance, the Humane Society for Animals in Rogers, AR gives you an opportunity to experience the romance, the adventure and the awe-inspiring action of Luke Skywalker and Princess Liea, living the quest in real-life, and real-time canine 3D. Luke and his sister Leia, never stopped their performance for the entire 45 minute show and brought smiles and cheers from all the HS volunteers who were lucky enough to find a guaranteed, free-admission “seat” along the encompassing bark park fence. The youthful 9-month-old thespians hugged, tugged, and out-witted all the Evil Empire Stormtrooper squeakies, even those cleverly disguised as a surreal green Gumby.

All the toys chosen for the cinematic fun-and-games survived for an assumed sequel with the exception of a Wampas, whose snowy remains were strewn about the entire bark park. The tennis ball, the vintage Gumby, and a doggy sized soft, cuddly Teddy Bear surprisingly were granted immunity. Luke showed his manly super-star status by having enough courage to unabashedly wear a pink bandana profusely decorated with red heart highlights. Or it could have been attributed to the near-sightedness of the photographer who didn’t look closely enough at Luke’s understandably miniature apparatus and assumed that he was a she until midway through the photo session when it became time for a potty break. The pups, who often seem to have an intrinsic sentience, smiled at the human with understanding, compassion, and laughter. Luke and Leia are friendly, fun-loving, and joyful pups who are hoping to share their lives with humans who will join them in the ultimate adventure.
