Douby

Douby was born on May 20, 2020 in Missouri, spent some puppy time in Lawrence, Kansas before moving to Syracuse, New York. As a puppy, Douby had already been leading her human companions on a journey to Niagara Falls and guiding them in a road trip across the border towards Montréal, Canada. At the age of 4, Douby decided to leave the metropolitan city (i.e., Syracuse) for something more exciting. Now Douby happily resides in Boston, despite the challenges posed by the city’s notoriously aggressive drivers. But this is how it is.

Here are some of her pictures.
