Ernie the Adventurer! Ernie was the passive sidekick of the Bert and Ernie duo that 4 Lucky Dogs took in. Once Ernie found his new forever home with Nancy and Steve Jacobson, and his big brother wasn't around to steal all of the attention, Ernie' s personality began to shine. Imagine his new owners surprise when she came back in to check on him and found out that he had used a side chair to get onto the kitchen counter to eat the cat food! Ernie was one cool dude enjoying the beach! Ernie loves his new family and is very good with Nancy and Steve's grandchildren.
