Leonberger (Dog)
Phil Lesh adopted a Leonberger in 2018. The family giving up the large puppy posted this note on Reddit:
“This weekend we said goodbye to our last puppy. Her new owners are Phil Lesh, one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead, and his lovely wife. Pictured is my husband and the lucky 10-week-old Leonberger just before we took her to meet them. Here’s hoping she loves being a Deadhead!”
