The winner of our 'Best Dressed Pet Halloween Costume Contest' is Rover, aka 'Bob,' aka the Werewolf of Wickliffe. We talk to our winner and interview this pupper's parents.
Rover "Bob" Gray is a Golden Retriever living in Wickliffe. He loves playing dress-up and lets you put any article of clothing on him. - Photo courtesy of Gary AdamicCLEVELAND, Ohio – Journalists know that conducting an interview can go any number of ways, though they rarely include cosplay, heavy breathing and panting. In the case of Rover “Bob” Gray, a delightful, 8-year-old Golden Retriever living in Wickliffe, that just goes with the territory. Doggos are gonna doggo, after all.
Rover was the runt of a litter born in Warren, Ohio. He was picked for adoption but then was returned in relatively short order. When Adamic and Gray got wind of the surrender, their son began pleading a case for Rover to come live with them. Turns out, “Bob” has a thing for songs with a long “oooh” or “whoa-whoa” sound repeated in the chorus. And yes, in case you wondered, this makes “Bob” a massive Warren Zevon fan.We didn’t even get to Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
Make no mistake, “Bob” is more than just a prospective “American Idol” contestant who auditions when his property management company parents hit the road. He has plenty of other interests.“Bob” also loves to hang out near the Chagrin River at Pleasant Valley Park off Chardon Road. He enjoys a good park frolic and is leaning toward being a budding fisherman like his sister.What “Bob” has always liked more than anything was to get dressed up. He soaks up all the attention he can manage.
