They’re friendly, charming and longing to be petted, so make sure you stop by to say hello! While you're there, don’t forget to check out our eye-catching aggregate displays. They’re the perfect companion to HP and Toby’s warm welcome, helping you find exactly what you need while enjoying your visit. 📍Make a trip to Pearson's of Duns and let HP and Toby brighten your day.
