Cherise Vance and her dog Cow were on their way to work at Rudy’s on 15th when CHS was fortunate enough to meet them. Cow, who is just nine months old, has been coming with Cherise to Rudy’s for the past five months. A Jack Russell/cattle dog mix, Cow was rescued from Seattle Humane Society, an experience Cherise highly recommends. “Adopt, don’t shop,” she tells us.
