Not Your Average Love Story

Beth and Dog met for the first time in 1988 after she got in trouble with the law. Beth was in a grocery store when she got a call from her boss. She stepped out holding a lemon and got caught accidentally shoplifting. She also was carrying an unregistered, unlicensed gun in her pocket. On top of that, she had an arrest warrant for unpaid parking tickets.
