A well-loved dog named Bubba who greeted customers for years at the Bark pet shop along Ballard Ave. passed away last week.

“Bubba the sweet dog that has graced the store for most of his life has passed on to the doggie rainbow in the sky,” wrote My Ballard reader Nancy in an email. “Many customers that have been coming to Bark for years has gotten to know sweet Bubba. He was 14 years young and each day Karen would take Bubba out on a stroll for his daily constitutional walk and stretch.”
