A Guide to Vickers Funeral Homes Burial and Cremation Services in Mid-Michigan
Dug was born in the spring of 2017. He was bred and chosen to be a grief therapy dog based on his temperament and personality. He came home in mid-June, 2017, to live, love, work and play with us at Vickers Funeral Homes. He went to receive extensive training at what Darin likes to call ‘Puppy University’. Living with Darin, he is a “dog” most of the time, but when there is a group of people or a service, he is all work. He will “work the room”, stopping to visit with a person here, a teenager there…. And playing with the kids. You can follow some of Dug’s adventures on our Instagram page: Vickers_Funeral_Homes.
