The folks in the neighborhood must wonder about the young couple with the dog who loves to dig.

“We’re the ones who don’t do lawn care and who never seem to work,” said Sarah True, who added in her best geezer voice: ” ‘They exercise an awful lot!’ ”

“Always running at random times of the day,” added Ben True. “And the dog’s always outside, finding different bushes or holes.”

Neighbors make a point of stopping at the end of the driveway, peering in with a Where’s Waldo curiosity to find Otzi’s latest hideout. Few of them realize the dog – “a tame tan wolf,” as Ben describes him – has his own endorsement deal, with Nulo dog food.
