While Dr. Larry is best known for his prowess on the archery range where he has won 8 Gold medals at the IFAA World Championships: 5 team and 3 individual, he applies the same focus and dedication to his Dental practice.
While riding his bike on Scenic Highway 1, Dr. Larry was swept off the road by a tidal wave of sorts which dropped Dr. Larry into the Monterey Bay mountain bike and all. The sea creatures hopes were to recruit Dr. Larry to fix fish teeth, crab claws and whiten mermaid teeth. But when they found out his astrological sign was an Earth Dog they knew they could not keep him forever since he belonged to the earth fairies. So on the one month anniversary of his arrival they blessed him with seaweed and sent him home.
