Linda Spivey pulls back as her 115-pound otterhound named Dudley shakes excess hair off his back following a trim and brush in their front yard off Roseland Drive Monday. Spivey said despite Dudley’s height of 26 inches, the English-bred dog is very mild tempered. “He is a gentle giant,” she said. Spivey adopted the dog along with three other animals from the Vicksburg Warren County Humane Society.(Melanie Duncan Thortis The Vicksburg Post)
