Dog of the Day: Holly-go-Lightly the Lead Dog

Every year at Bay to Barkers they choose an awesome dog from their pack of awesome dogs, and name that dog ‘Lead Dog’ for the day. That means that dog gets to lead the big dog walk, and gets pictures taken and whatnot.

This is Holly-go-Lightly, the lead dog for 2011, and also for 2009. (The color you see on her paws was a result of the ‘paw-painting’ station, where Holly made a work of art.)

Golden Retriever/Corgi Mix

Hmm, I wonder what breed she is? Clearly half golden retriever, but the half-up-ears and that splash of white on her chest are...

Corgi/Golden Retriever

...ah. Well, that makes it easier: only corgi mixes can look that ridiculous.

Is it just me, or does that golden in the background look a little nervous?

    OMG! My dog looks just like (identical)Holly-Go-Lightly….he is also a Golden/Corgie….and what a personality he has!

      I can’t imagine a personality more endearing than one halfway between golden retriever and corgi.

      Got any pictures of him online? I’d love to see them.

        No I don’t and am not even sure how to do that…….OK, not real savvy here :-) He definitely has that jaunty attitude that Holly seems to have though and is always happy!

    Our dog looks JUST like this. We adopted him from the shelter and we had to do a double take, we thought these were photos someone took of him!

      Aww! I think he’s a little smaller, but otherwise quite similar. And cute! Congratulations on snagging an awesome dog.

    Here’s my Riley…wish I had a picture that better captured his unique personality. I think we may need to have a “Holly-Go-Lightly” convention :-) , well, at least if I lived in San Francisco.
