Pet of the week - Aug. 6

With her heterochromatic eyes and vibrant purple tail, the year-old snow shepherd husky mix named Ghost Bouchard has been providing diabetic and cardiac services for her family since she was 7 weeks old. Her handler, Mary-Beth Bouchard of Clovis, said Ghost is always enthusiastic to see her giraffe friends at the Hillcrest Park Zoo when they go on long walks. After a week's worth of work, the service dog is rewarded every Sunday with a pup cup from a local treat shop.
