Vineyarders love their dogs! Nowhere on earth is so much attention lavished on man's best friend than here on Martha's Vineyard. You'll meet them in offices, retail stores, beaches & parks (leashed of course), traveling on the ferries,and riding contentedly alongside their owners in pickup trucks & cars. To celebrate this unique bond with our canine companions, MVOL will showcase one of these beloved Island pets each month. Islanders...Please send your Dog of the Month submissions ( text& JPEG photo) to: MVOLdog@mvol.com

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands. 

When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands;

then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. 

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.
