Carib – Black Lab and Dr. Gary's Faithful & Willing "Guinea Pig"
My name is Carib, a black "English stock" Labrador Retriever, born in Otto, North Carolina on March 16, 2007. I was personality tested by my breeder to match my owner's requests. My future dad was looking for an outgoing, curious, water-loving dog. Eight weeks later I was united with my dad in Gainesville, Florida. Little did I know he was finishing veterinary school, and everything my dad learned, he tried on me before his patients. My dad is very lucky that I am trusting. I now go to work with my dad everyday and see all of the sick dogs and cats that he helps. When I am not at work with my dad, I enjoy swimming (especially lounging on a pool float), the outdoors and playing with my friends.
