Nick recounts another memorable moment when he surprised his dad with a beautiful Labrador puppy named Andy on Christmas morning, wrapping him up and placing him under the tree. Listeners will enjoy the endearing descriptions of how Andy thrived on their 50 acres of land in Crandon, Wisconsin, living a full and adventurous life.
