Story: Chinook was adopted as a pup when he was 9 weeks old from a shelter when the Narris family went on vacation to Canada. Since Ronald and Debby prefered not to have children at their older age, they decided that a dog would be a perfect companion for their home. 

As he grew, the Narris family trained Chinook well. They did not allow him to jump up, claw, or bark at visitors or strangers. As Chinook because of age, they decided that he deserved more than staying home alone while the family was out doing errands so they adopted a lovely lady which they named Marlee for him to be with. At this time, Chinook was of the age of 3. Marlee was 2 when she was adopted.

Chinook absolutely adored his new partner and best friend, being gentle yet playful with her. When Marlee gave birth to her first litter, Chinook was by her side at all times, making sure she was absolutely comfortable. Together they raised their beautiful pups together. Chinook made sure to teach his sons and daughters well before they were given to new loving homes. He also made sure to be the best Dad that was possible.

At his current age of 8 years, Chinook and Marlee had 3 sets of babies throughout their years. In their third litter, the Narris family spoke of a surprise for their close friends, the Hardey's. It was their daughter's birthday soon and they decided a Siberian Husky pup would be the perfect surprise. Chinook and Marlee's son, Bowser, was picked from the litter to be the little girl's pup. With Chinook almost growing up with the Hardey's being by the Narris family's side, he made sure Bowser was on his best behavior before he was given to the Hardey's girl.

With Chinook and Marlee's old age, they no longer have litters of pups. They spend most of their time resting together, and laying at their owner's feet, listening to their stories. While Chinook does miss all of his children and the experience of having new pups to raise, he's proud for his family and is glad to relax knowing his did good at raising his children.
