Text Formatting ⇒ Uppercased character after a lettrine?

[anta40]

Here is a paragraph I made involving lettrine.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}

\begin{document}

\lettrine{T}he American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard calls for a natural range of size, with a desired freighting size of 23 inches (584 mm) and 75 pounds (34 kg) for females, 25 inches (635 mm) and 85 pounds (39 kg) for males. Heavier individuals (90 lb (41 kg)) and dogs smaller than 75 pounds (34 kg) are commonly seen. There is often a marked size difference between males and females. Weights upwards of 120 pounds (54 kg) are occasionally seen, but this is uncommon and such dogs are produced primarily by breeders who market a 'giant Malamute.' These large sizes are not in accordance with the breed's history or show standards.

The H after the T is uppercased. How to keep it in lowercase?
