On a gray February day as he drove through a nursery in Forest Hill, Michael Polozola stopped his truck to pick up a special passenger: a dog named Oliver.
Polozola, the LSU AgCenter’s fruit and nut specialist, spends a lot of time at the nurseries of central Louisiana. He has befriended the nursery dogs — including Oliver, a lab mix who eagerly awaits his rides in the truck.
