The adventures of a German Shepherd and a nematologist
Zeus, the German Shepherd, found Perla Achi at the Riverside County Animal Shelter on October 2, 2018. At the time, he was a seven-month-old pup and she was a 22-year-old biology undergrad at UC Riverside.
Achi was rescued by Zeus after losing her first German Shepherd, King, to cancer earlier that year — making for a tough start to her first year at UCR. She named him Zeus because he had a way of zooming and jumping when excited. With his size, he shook the floor and made loud noises, which reminded her of the Greek god of thunder.
