Red Dog
One fine Saturday in March of 2002, nine months after moving here, Louise returned from trip to the market to find a beautiful reddish colored Golden Retriever in the yard. After several unsuccessful attempts to find out where he came from, she and her partner Steve resigned themselves to becoming first time pet owners.

Since then, Red Dog has brought much joy to everyone he comes in contact with. For many guests, a little Red Dog therapy is a highlight of their visit. Though he doesn't understand it, Red Dog respects anyone who prefers not to hang out with him.
