Namon and LaTosha Mature are the proud owner/operators of "The Dawg Pound Diner LLC." However, the diner in perspective is solely based upon a long time dream of Mrs. Mature's. Born and raised in Tazewell Virginia, LaTosha grew up with an abundant amount of love for her hometown roots, not to mention, the hometown football team, The Tazewell Bulldogs, along with her three sons. LaTosha has expectations beyond imagination for this diner to grow and become as one with the community. The class of "98", Tazewell County resident says, "If our boys are going to get on the field to hear our voices yell and scream with joy for them, then there is nothing wrong with showing some love and respect back, because Once you're a Bulldog, You're Always a Bulldog!!" And that is what leads to the name and setting of the diner, a woman's dream, love, passion, and support for her hometown.
