A beloved North Texas social media star is being remembered in a way drivers can\u2019t miss. <\/p>\n
Along North Central Expressway near Royal Lane in Dallas, a glowing billboard featuring Kensington Campbell \u2014 a golden retriever with nearly 120,000 Instagram followers \u2014 is turning heads while promoting pet adoption and animal welfare.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the moment we got her when she was six weeks old, she was a shining light her entire life,\u201d Ryan Campbell said.<\/p>\n
After Kensington was diagnosed with cancer, Ryan and Tracey Campbell spent her final year completing a bucket list. Her adventures included trips to the beach, playing in the snow in Colorado, an appearance on the Jumbotron at a Rough Riders game, and playing fetch on the field at The Star in Frisco.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to do things that would spark fun and create meaningful ways to promote rescue along the journey,\u201d Tracey Campbell said.<\/p>\n
Now, Kensington\u2019s legacy lives on through the billboard. Its rotating messages encourage adoption, fostering, volunteering, and spaying or neutering pets as North Texas shelters face overcrowding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the best way to honor her? By letting her legacy live on,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cYou save more dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kensington\u2019s social media pages remain active, continuing to share her story and inspire animal lovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beloved North Texas social media star is being remembered in a way drivers can\u2019t miss.
