Vineyarders love their dogs! From Afghan Hounds to Yorkshire Terriers, Heinz 57s and all breeds in between, you'll meet them everywhere on Martha's Vineyard -- 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. Islanders: Please send your Dog of the Month submissions (text & JPEG photo) to: MVOLdog@mvol.com

" To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."  ~Milan Kundera

Name: Charles McKeansie

Photo Description: This is Charlie at work waiting to meet customers at Up Island Paint & Tool.

Breed: Pomeranian and Chihuahua cross (a Pomihuahua ?!)

Age: 5 years

Hang out: At Up Island Paint & Tool

Likes: His stuffed animals which he carries around everywhere he goes. Walking around Martha's Vineyards' wood and fields; begging on his hind legs, sunbathing and letting other dogs know who's boss...and they had better listen to him or else!.

Dislikes: Cats, fleas and the ocean

Personal Motto: " A hot dog at the ball park is better than a steak at the Ritz".
