GARWOOD, Idaho — A northern Idaho junkyard dog that served as the official mascot for the business and became well known in the area after appearing in advertisements has died.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reported that the 100-pound tundra wolf-malamute mix with white fur named Dyno died last month at age 12.
Pegasus Auto Recycling owner L.T. Jones says the advertising campaign featuring Dyno began in 2013 and artists started showing up at the Garwood business with drawings of Dyno.
Jones says Dyno greeted customers and thought it was his job to let people pet him.
Jones says a wolfhound named Brenna and Dyno's biological nephew, Caymus, will start appearing in the advertisements and greeting customers.
