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.

"Animals are such agreeable friends--they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.  ~George Eliot

Name: Mimi

Photo Description: "Is the car ready?."

Breed: Yorkshire Terrier

Age: 2 years

Likes: Her favorite past time is lying in her OB backyard which she  shares with owners Pat & Jim Dorsey listening to the boaters and chasing seagulls off the pier - they drive her crazy!  She loves spending time visiting her Aunt Willi in Plymouth and playing with her siblings Max and Lovey in Virginia.

Dislikes:  Mimi  does not like to go out fishing - it is not as much fun as when she is in the car - she has her own life jacket but she thinks it makes her look silly and actually, we agree...

Hangs out:  About town riding in a silver Escalade - she has a carpeted middle console where she sits so she can have the best views of everything!

 Personal Motto: "You drive, I bark."
