Molson

Nov 3, 2013

Molson is the most amazing co driver. He keeps me company, keeps watch over the truck, and helps me stay connected to humanity, in an industry that makes that difficult sometimes. He’s my best friend, and he also is quite the attention getter when all of his 18 lbs. is sprawled across the dash board when we are rolling down the road. On Sunday evenings, Molson is parked at the door, ready to head back to work. He is truly a loyal friend!!
