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 more I see of man, the more I like dogs."
    ~Mme. de Stael

Name: Skipper

Photo Description: Who stole the hat?

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 2 years

Likes: Skipper loves to get attention. He will always steal things right in front of us and prance around. He loves to play with his toys and then bury them  in the snow.

Dislikes:  Horses, and getting his ears cleaned. Whenever we pull out the bottle of cleaner, he will run away and go under the computer desk.

Hangs out with: The family, all his friends around the
block (Tritent, Ella, Baxter, B ailey and Glover and anyone who stops and visits.

Personal Motto: "Whatever hits the floor is fair game."
