Proudly a Portuguese water dog

Blue Wiley

I was a second-anniversary present for Halle Belle. Now I'm big brother to three kids, and my whole job is making people feel loved.

Big brother to three kids
Gets in the garbage
Makes mischief when left behind
Wants you to feel loved

Breed: Portuguese water dog
Registry: AKC purebred
Breeder: Stowaway Portuguese Water Dogs, Gadsden, Alabama

I don't need a leash to go on a walk. Leashes are for show.

Blue walking on the sand at the water's edge with his coat wet, a long pier running out over the water behind him

My favorite place

The beach

Whoever named my breed was not being subtle: get me anywhere near the water and I go in, I come out, and I shake the whole ocean onto whoever is standing closest.

It's the one walk I already know the way to.
