“At first, I was afraid he’d bite me because most dogs bark at you and appear aggressive if you came near their house,” Elisa explained when they first met at the start of the school year.
After a few days, Elisa’s friends encouraged her to pet him. Ralph was so happy and excited when she did that he licked and pawed her hand !

He isn’t always around, though, but according to Elisa, “Most of the time, by the time I walk to the spot, he waits there for me to pet him before I leave.”
Elisa hadn’t known his name for a few months until she happened upon a man walking a Golden Retriever, who turned out to be Ralph and his owner.
I told him I go pet him all the time, and also asked him what’s his name, and he told me it was Ralph,” she said.
