My name is Bo-Luke. I am a lifetime resident of Lincoln County, Ok. I was born on May 20, 2013, the day after the big Carney tornado, down on S 3420 Road in Chandler. I was about six weeks old when my owner Jonathan McDade picked me out, he was seven years old at the time. I am currently 13 years old, and my owner Jonathan is now 20. I’m just living out my old man years relaxing and stuff. I love sunshine, people and pig ears from Atwoods. Photo/Kristy Lewis
