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 greatest love is a mother's, then a dog's, then a sweetheart's." --Polish Proverb  

 Name: Bacchus

Photo Description: Bacchus being cute

Breed: Black Tri Australian Shepard

Age: 1 year

Likes: Bacchus loves to be the center of attention. He loves swimming in the ocean, in the pond and anywhere he can find water and messing with the garden hose and get completely tangled up. He loves to ride in the car with you and attempt to sit on your lap while you drive!

Dislikes: People riding on bicycles (really!), the sound of cards being shuffled, having a shower and thunder.

Hangs out with:  Lorraine McKenna, Marketing Manager of the Harbor View Hotel & Resort and Kelley House

Personal Motto: "Is it time for a swim yet?."
