Harper Lee

I just met a black dog named Harper Lee.

She is named after the author of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Her owner was nine years old when he read the story.

In the beginning when Scout is describing her town, she mentions the heat, and a black dog that was panting heavily within it.

When he read that line at age nine, he knew that he would own a black dog named Harper one day.

Today, Harper Lee is a search and rescue dog. She has helped in missions throughout all of the great floods and hurricanes surrounding the past seven years.

She also knows Spanish and Sign Language.

Now I want one.
