Piper Michel-Caperell

Piper came to our family when he was adopted from the Esther Boyd animal shelter on August 14, 2012. Little is known about him before he came into our lives because he was found and brought to the shelter as a stray. We didn't know his age other than he was an older dog, already a bit gray.
