Hilda
A childhood memory of potato chips on the porch turned into a lifelong bond with Hilda, a German Shepherd who became more than just a family dog. From playful adventures to a terrifying creek-side encounter with a stranger, Hilda’s loyalty and protective instincts left an unforgettable mark. She wasn’t perfect—often too strong for a boy to handle—but when it mattered most, she proved her worth. This is the story of friendship, trust, and the day I realized Hilda was worth her weight in gold.
