Bobby Hollabaugh's wife Glenda and his two grown sons sometimes wonder what's gotten into him and his relationship with that dog. Hollabaugh sometimes wonders himself what's gotten into him.
"I can't really explain it," he said, "but I was totally smitten the first time I saw her."
Hollabaugh is the owner of H & H Plumbing. Toey is a 3½-year-old dachshund, slightly unusual in that she's not red or black, but spotted.

Oh, and blind and deaf, too. A dog that can't see or hear and a plumber may not sound like a match made in heaven, but try telling that to those who know the two.
"It's changed his life," Glenda said. "He used to be a grouchy old man, and now the dog has turned him into the biggest baby. He's like a big ol' kid. He loves it like a child. I can't tell you how much he loves that dog."
