Staff, customers and new owners remember Linda Burkett, the original owner of the Camp Bow Wow on North Oracle Road, whose passion for dogs drove her business.
TUCSON, Ariz. — When you walk into the Camp Bow Wow on North Oracle, you're greeted with smiling faces, lots of pups and this memorial:"She brought it up. She did it from the ground up. This is her building this is her property, she made everything from scratch and it was meant to be a Camp Bow Wow," says Valerye Rutledge.
"She kept every detail in mind down to this gate that you see outside. That's not a regular camp bow wow thing, that's a Linda Burkett thing," says Amanda Boone."Her passion was dogs, her passion was Camp Bow Wow," says employee Jane Windelcardoza.Rutledge says,"Her passing happened in the hospital—however, the incident that started it all ended up here. She fell here in the parking lot.
Now this Camp Bow Wow is under new ownership, where Alan and Lisa Schrope are letting these employees keep her memory alive."We've got so many customers that came here when their dogs were babies and now they are old. That's Linda's legacy.""We talk about her everyday. I don't think there's a day that goes by where we don't talk about her."Heidi Alagha is an anchor and reporter for KGUN 9.
