Maquoketa's TOP DOGS

MANY MAQUOKETA RESIDENTS HAVE NOTICED A MAN WALKING TWO DOGS REGULARLY WITH ONE DOG CARRYING A LEASH IN HIS MOUTH AND THE OTHER A FRIZZBEE.    CHUCK DOBSON WHO LIVES AT 700 SOUTH 2ND STREET TRAINED THE DOGS TO DO THIS A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND SAYS
SINCE THEN, THE DOGS ARE EASIER TO KEEP IN LINE WITH HIM DURING WALKS, WHICH HE TAKES A COUPLE TIMES A DAY.    THE WHITE MALE DOG IS REX AND IS A LABRADOODLE AND THE OTHER MALE BLACK LAB IS MOUCH.  
REX IS 7 YEARS OLD AND MOUCH IS 5.    DOBSON GREW UP IN MAQUOKETA AND RECENTLY RETURNED AFTER LIVING IN THE GREEN ISLAND AREA FOR A NUMBER OF YEAR.     HIS FATHER ALSO LIVES IN MAQUOKETA.
