Vineyarders love their dogs! Nowhere on earth is so much attention lavished on man's best friend than here on Martha's Vineyard. You'll meet them in offices, retail stores, beaches & parks (leashed of course), traveling on the ferries,and riding contentedly alongside their owners in pickup trucks & cars. To celebrate this unique bond with our canine companions, MVOL will showcase one of these beloved Island pets each month.

The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. 
~Ambrose Bierce

Name: Albie "Catch of the day"

Photo Description: Maiden voyage to "The Dog Park"

Breed: Charcoal Lab

Age: 14 weeks

Likes: Food, sleep, toys, walks and car rides. (He will love our boat soon enough).

Dislikes: The crate

Hangs out with:
Daytime: Holmes Hole Builders office staff (the most generous employers Kristie and Gary), Julie, Uncle Mike and of course, Jake.
Night time: Mom Emily, Dad Jake, and his sister - a Bernese Mountain Dog named Huckleberry.

Personal Quest: To prove that charcoal is not a mishap,
but a very nice improvement to the Lab's color pallet.
