Meet Merica, the 5-year-old German Shepherd who’s more of a loveable goofball than a fierce protector—hence her family given title as the "fake" German Shepherd. She believes that her primary job is to collect hugs and initiate playtime with her favorite humans, all while perfecting her happy smile. When she’s not busy turning every hike into a rock-climbing expedition (because who doesn’t want to scale a boulder for a better view?), she’s plotting her next road trip adventure, ready to explore wherever her humans take her. With a personality as silly as it isa serious, Merica is the kind of dog that will keep you laughing, loving, and occasionally wondering if she’s secretly a comedian in disguise!
