A Rescue Dog Adventure Chronicle

They rescued us

Adventure seekers. Ice cream enthusiasts.

Lana was rescued from the Korean meat market. Dolly was left behind by a Texas neighbor. Now they hike trails, cruise on lakes, and tear through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula snow and nature. They help us find joy in the every day.

Where they came from

Two dogs. Two roads converged.

Different countries. Different circumstances. Same couch.

Korea to Michigan

Lana

Rescued from the Korean meat trade, we think she is a Shiba Inu and Jindo mix. Cautious with strangers, fearless on a trail. She has adventured with us across multiple states and she is not done yet.

Texas to Michigan

Dolly

Our neighbor left her behind in Texas. We could not walk away. A big mystery mutt with an even bigger personality. She found her people and never looked back.
