An Ashburn family’s nearly 20-year-old Jack Russell terrier has caught the eye of the food brand they credit for giving him a second lease on life.
A crew from The Farmer’s Dog recently came to the home of Don and Renee Ventrice in the Broadlands to film their dog, Beemer, to use in the company’s social media campaigns – and possibly more.
Beemer joined the family as a young puppy – a gift for their son, Gino, on his 8th birthday back in 2006.
Gino had hoped for a Jack Russell, and after attempts to find one via adoption fell through, his father made a covert trip to a reputable breeder two hours away.
In a room brimming with Jack Russell puppies, it didn’t take long for him to find the right one.
