Animal Tales | All about Brook Lyn

This is a photo of our new family member. Brook Lyn is a female Boykin spaniel and joined us on Christmas eve.

As our son is a New York City police officer working in Brooklyn, we named her following the deaths of the two officers that were murdered in the precinct next to his. Brook is very intelligent, as well as active, and is keeping us young.
