Community rallies to find new home for veteran’s service dog

Robert Scott McCubbins didn’t have a lot of visitors.

The 56-year-old veteran lived in a Hazel Dell apartment complex, where neighbors knew him as “Mr. Rob.” Down the street, at the Safeway grocery store where he was a regular, staff knew him and his service dog — a black Lab named Hooch.

“He was a nice, quiet old man. He’s been there for years,” said Virginia Sorenson, a neighbor at Willow Creek Apartments. “None of us can remember anyone visiting.”
