Dog of the Day: Olive the Pug of San Francisco

Posted on September 24, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran across Olive (6) when I was on my way home from Milwaukee, in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. But it turned out, when I chatted with her folks, that Olive was actually an official Dog of San Francisco: she’s lived here most of her life, and she was just on vacation, just like me!

By the way, I don’t mention this often enough, but if you’re visiting here looking for pictures of your pup, and I haven’t posted them yet, please feel free to leave a comment reminding me. I will treat your pup as a priority!

I promise, despite her expression, she was having a grand old time.

Repeat Dog of the Day: Jeviz the Standard Schnauzer

Posted on September 22, 2026 by Adam Lang

I have just discovered that not only did I take pictures of Jeviz, who is now 12 years old, almost exactly a year apart (August 30th, 2025, which were posted shortly thereafter, and August 25th, 2026, posted today), but I took pictures of him, and posted them, a little over eleven years before that, on July 30th of 2014, when he was five months old! He was dangerously cute as a puppy, and he grew up to be huuuuge (for a standard schnauzer) and dangerously handsome!

Very Large Standard Schnauzer
Not the ‘breed standard’ schnauzer cut, but I think he looks very dapper.

I mistook him for a bearded collie. Which is a definite compliment, by the way: they’re gorgeous dogs.

Dog of the Day: Violet the Papillon Mix

Posted on September 21, 2026 by Adam Lang

Violet’s (2 years old) folks said she was an ‘unknown mix’, but I am pretty sure there is some papillon in her ancestry. Look at those ears!

I don’t know what I like more, the ears or the goatee!

Sunday Switchup: Milwaukee Is Pretty Great

Posted on September 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

Gotta tell ya, I visited Milwaukee last month and it has some pretty great spots. Not least of which is Riley’s, which is not just dog-friendly, it’s dog-centric. We need more places like that around here!

Puppy of the Day: Milo Bear the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Posted on September 17, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran across Milo (9 months) on his way home from a vet appointment. Poor pup, he got neutered. He was a little bit groggy, but still surprisingly cheerful. Get well soon, Milo Bear!

It’s always fun running across pups on MUNI: I don’t have to inconvenience people in order to pet pups for minutes at a time!

Puppy of the Day: Louie the Great Dane Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on September 16, 2026 by Adam Lang

Louie was four months old when I ran into him, and let me tell you what, I just about scooped him up and ran away with him. What an amazing combo, Dane and ACD!

And that’s a really silly expression. I think he’s mid-bark, but still!

Dog of the Day: Beagle Mix

Posted on September 15, 2026 by Adam Lang

When I was pupsitting a couple weeks ago, we walked by a house where the resident reeeeeally wanted to come out and play. SO BADLY.

Honestly I was a little worried he was going to leap out the window.

Dog of the Day: Kirkland the Silken Windhound

Posted on September 14, 2026 by Adam Lang

Still kinda hate the name ‘silken windhound’, but I love Kirkland (3), so it’s all good. I also love Kirkland’s instagram page, and you will too!

No captions or hovertext today, just too many cute pictures of a pup!

Sunday Switchup: Chibi the Lovebird

Posted on September 13, 2026 by Adam Lang

Chibi (3, a boy) was out and about yesterday at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market. Or, well, ‘out’ is perhaps the wrong word, but he was certainly about. He was in his mom’s bird-pack, which had a front (back?) that was clear plastic, and reflected the sun beautifully, and sides that were mesh and quite hard to get pictures through. I tried, though, and you can at least get an idea of how ‘chibi’ Chibi is. You cannot, however, get an idea of how ‘cheepy’ Chibi is, because I didn’t capture any sound. Sorry!

‘Chibi’ is apparently some kind of Japanese art style that is very cute. And this Chibi is very cute, too!

I wonder what the evolutionary purpose of that white splotch is?
