The Dogs of San Francisco

Dog of the Day: Biscuit the Golden Retriever

Posted on August 1, 2025 by Adam Lang

Meet Biscuit! He’s six, and very very talented.

Golden Retriever — Biscuit was, I believe, a slightly damp doggy.

Golden Retriever Standing In Front Of Water Bowl With Tennis Ball In It — It was a bright sunny day, important to stay hydrated! (But can’t risk your favorite toy getting away from you while you get a drink!)

Golden Retriever Staring At Bouncing Tennis Ball — Biscuit’s dad gave him a couple of ‘fetches’ just for me.

Puppy of the Day: Kona the Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on July 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

I thought I’d posted some pictures of Kona (8 months, boy) before — I know I’ve taken some! — but it seems not. However, there has been a Berner named Kona before… in fact, he was the Dog of the New Year in 2015! Those are some big shoes to fill, pupper… but I think you and your champion side-eye game are up to it.

Bernese Mountain Dog Lying On Bricks With Chihuahua In The Background — Sorry, I didn’t get the name of the other pup. But this is in one of my favorite parks for photo-hunting, I’m sure I’ll run across him again soon.

Dog of the Day: Milo the Japanese Akita

Posted on July 29, 2025 by Adam Lang

Milo (4) is a SUPER friendly Japanese akita. I’m so used to them being standoffish. Not Milo!

Japanese Akita Grinning — Milo is VERY photogenic. Knows how to both pose for and look at the camera.

Dog of the Day: Oliver the Bernadoodle

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Adam Lang

Oliver (2) is the Bernest doodle that ever doodled a Bern!

Bernadoodle With One Blue Eye And One Brown Eye — Unusual to see a Bernadoodle with one blue eye!

Bernadoodle Sticking His Nose In The Camera — SNOOT SHOT! Oliver is a goof.

Bernadoodle With His Eyes Closed And A Tiny Bit Of Tongue Showing — Teeeeny tiny blep!

Dog of the Day: Freya the American Bulldog Cane Corso Mix Still-A-Puppy

Posted on July 24, 2025 by Adam Lang

Freya will be one year old in August, and she has had a ruff life! She wasn’t treated very well when she was younger, and consequently she’s very timid and very easily overstimulated. Mom adopted her later on and is working with her to get her used to the world. It’s taking some time, but mom’s good at this stuff: if I recall correctly she works with animals for a living. So Freya is in good hands.

Cane Corso American Bulldog Mix — Mom got a genetic test done. I’m not 100% sure I buy it — where did the merle come from? and the build is awfully light! — but who knows?

Woman Holding Large Dog Up Off The Ground — Freya apparently still thinks she’s ten pounds. She’s closer to sixty. This results in some silliness.

Dog of the Day: Linc the Yorkshire Terrier Poodle Mix

Posted on July 23, 2025 by Adam Lang

Two truths and a lie: Linc is four years old, not a puppy. Linc has puppy-soft fur, so soft you just want to bury your face in it. Linc is a purebred fluffmuppet.

Yorkie Poo With Big Grin — Additional truth: I love Linc.

Puppy of the Day: Monny (Monaghan) the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix

Posted on July 22, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Monny (4 months) on Saturday, when it was damp and dreary and dim outside. Consequently, all of the super puppy action shots I got are too blurry to post. Happily, this one came out okay.

Apricot King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Poodle Mix With White Snoot And Chin — Monny is named after an Irish pub in the Marina, Monaghan’s. Perfect for a ginger!

Sunday Special: Happy Fifteenth BirthDogDay, Daisy the Brittany Spaniel!

Posted on July 20, 2025 by Adam Lang

And just in case you weren’t sure, that’s fifteen HUMAN years, and Daisy is still going strong, taking long walks and even doing a little dancing on the side.
