I took the photograph above of the August Mutt of the Month a number of weeks ago as I was walking past Rockmount Ranch Wear in Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo). This company was founded by Jack A. Weil back in 1946. He bought a five-story building in what is now LoDo and began manufacturing his own brand of western wear. Later on, he opened what has become a very popular retail store on the first floor, which is where I took the photograph. Jack A. ran Rockmount Ranch Wear until he passed away at the age of 107. His son Jack B. then took over the business. It is currently being run by Steve Weil, the grandson. This company is world famous for its ranch wear, especially its shirts, which I assume means the merchandise is worth a fortune. Thus, the need for a very alert watchdog to keep an eye on everyone who enters the store. Although this dog looks like it is not very attentive, its eyes are actually wide open and missing nothing. Fair warning - step out of line at your peril.
