Sweet Luna joins dad Joe
Perez for a walk everyday.
Joe told me he got six-year-
old Luna from a friend.
ey make a cute pair!
Meet Peanut. Mom Sharon
(and Dad Jim) Courtois
rescued this Chiweenie eight
years ago when she was just
seven months old. When
Peanut isn't running the
household, she's out in the
backyard hunting lizards!
Say hi to Twinkie! Mom Tess
Candaza says Twinkie loves
treats. So I gave her one. And
look how nicely she posed!
Vinny!!!! Since I grew up
with dachshunds, Vinny
and I bonded immediately.
Mom and Dad Keri and
Ron Baldridge said I could
come and visit Vinny
anytime! I'll have to set up
a play date!!
Dog mom Dawn Fedak found this
cutie in the woods near Yosemite 17
years ago. She called him "Dog." He
wouldn't let her pet him at first. But
one day, he did… on his butt… so
his new name is "Dogbutt." Always
fun to hear how a dog's name came
about!
I met dog dad Manny Banuelos
and his 12-year-old rescue
Maggie while out on their daily
walk. Manny tells me Maggie
is a "freedom" dog because she
was born on the 4th of July.
