Paco's favorite chair

"Paco" is a senior 9-year-old adopted dog from the McCook Humane Society who spends a lot of these winter days sleeping in his favorite chair. He was born with hip problems, says owner Marilyn Cuellar, and as he has gotten older, it has become hard for him to get around, hence the steps. Owner Marilyn Cuellar said that it took him 2 weeks to master the chore of climbing up the steps to reach his chair instead of jumping and now he uses them very faithfully.
