Brief Bio:
Hilton was found by Susanne's father on Hilltop Road in Ellicott City, Maryland...three weeks before Susanne's 15th birthday.  After no one claimed him at the local shelter, he was taken home to the Parks Family as a birthday gift to Susanne.

Sadly, Hilton had to be retired in November 2004 because a partical toren cruicate ligament in his right knee, while playing in the yard in May. Thou Hilton's tear was miner and not noticable it was better for Hilton's health that he'd stop playing flyball. Although Susanne went to see a Specialist; did acupture and aqua therapy, the knee was going to heal naturally. Later down the line Hilton will probably have to get knee surgery to fix the knee. "Knock on Wood" hopefully that day doesn't come too soon!!! But Hilton and Mom are still having fun training for Rally. Now Hilton has a "little brother" Tempo who he loves!
