Tucker Link, Animal Expert
Tucker was born in Plymouth, MA on Sept 22, 2003. He loves French fries, the Red Sox
and anything to do with water. When he greets people he has to have something in his mouth
to carry around with him (ball, toy, stick,...). He hides in the bath tub when it thunders
or when he hears fireworks. He loves to stick his head out the window while riding in a
car or boat. He's very polite (never jumps on people) and absolutely loves playing with
people. Tucker has a PhDog in animal sciences and we're very lucky to have him at camp
this summer!
Favorite Book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon
