Name: Maisie

Breed: Golden retriever

Spotted: January 10

Fun fact: Her nickname is ‘Mai’

Janis: She’s perfect, she’s beautiful, she looks like Linda Evangelista . . . she’s a model. Everything about her is perfect! 10/10.

Name: Lyan

Breed: German shepherd

Spotted: January 12

Janis: Lyan, I would be Lyan’ if I said you weren’t the most beautiful creature to grace the face of this planet. 13/10.

Name: Butter

Breed: Australian shepherd

Spotted: January 15

Fun fact: Butter has lived at SFU her whole life (since 2005), and she likes the trails here because there are less people. She always sticks close to her owner because of shepherd behaviour traits.

Gab: There is nothing not to like about this dog, oh my God.

Henry: Butter looks so elegant and sophisticated here, especially with her posture and gaze!

 

 

Name: Mocha

Breed: Toy poodle

Spotted: January 16
