When the Griffin family brought their new dog back to their Vancouver home in April, he wasn’t quite what they had expected.
The pup, a 3-month-old rescue shipped up from a Louisiana shelter shuttered by COVID-19, wasn’t the 7-pound terrier mix in the photo who would have been just right for their small yard.
