Cindy Maulhardt said her 4-year-old goldendoodle, Dallas, usually has a stuffed animal with him as pictured in a December 2025 photo taken at their home in Imperial.
“Any stuffed animal, he loves them,” she said. “This is one of his favorites. He usually carries around his animals.”
Dallas does not tear apart his stuffed animals like many other dogs, she said.
“Our other two dogs tear theirs up,” Maulhardt said.
She describes Dallas as an amiable fellow.
“He’s very, very laid back,” she said. “He gets along with our other dogs well. He’s very affectionate. Dallas is a real sweetheart.”
