Description: Man's best friend is said to be his dog..at times, that is. Here Dr. John Nara, Copper Country veterinarian has his job carved out for himself in keeping Freckles, his 3 1/2 year old St. Bernard pal, up for a two step. A spayed female, Freckles eats four pounds of feed a day and weighs in at 150 pounds or more. Her master is 6 feet tall and dents the scales at 250. Freckles is the only purebred St. Bernard in Houghton County and is official receptionist and guardian at the doctor's clinic. Freckles' keg of brandy was removed from her neck, because of too frequent rescues and the high overhead. In this instance the dog almost knocked her master down - Truly a Nara escape.
