#150 JACKO (JRT) Girard, OH - Carson City NV

JACKO #150, a 22 pound Jack Russell Terrier, 8 y/o, male returned to his original home in Carson City, NV, with the help of two drivers, John K and Phil S.

Several months ago Jacko was adopted by Pedro C from Girard, OH, as a companion for his elderly father while he, Pedro, worked. Unfortunately, Mr. C, the father, suffered a stroke and had to return to his native Puerto Rico. Jacko moped around to the point Pedro decided to return him to his former home in Carson City, NV, with Jerri and Robert.

John K met Pedro at a truck stop in Seville (Lodi), OH. A few hours later, John met Phil S at another truck stop in Jeffersonville, OH, who then took him home with him to Springfield, MO. While there, Jacko took exception to Phil playing with his own puppy, Jake, resulting in an immediate repower on his way to Nevada.

Phil drove up to Sedalia, MO, to meet again with John K. Also involved in this transfer was drivers Joe F and Glen W. Joe had offered his home as a layover if needed (it wasn't) and Glen, who happened to be near the Sedalia area, offered to take Jacko.

As it turned out, John was closer and again stepped up to the plate to repower Jacko who had gotten along with Buddy, John's Lab X companion, the first time.

The only incident reported on the remainder of the trip was a confrontation between the two dogs which resulted in both of them going to their corners, which happened to be the same corner, together, and making mental notes not to rile John again.

Otherwise, the two even slept together. Oh, one other thing. Jacko accidently locked the door when John got out. In reaching through the window to unlock the door, John found himself confronted with a growling Lab who objected to an arm being stuck through the window, even if it was his master's. Guess John doesn't have to worry about anyone taking his truck... or his dog!

John met Robert in Las Vegas, NV. When Jacko saw Robert, he immediatley began jumping from seat to seat, excited to see someone he knew and obviously loved.
