Ive been a dog lover for years . I donate alotof free time to the animal shelters. I promise your dog will not want to leave . I live on a lake and have a huge backyard tbat leads right to the water. I love taking pictures of our daily activities , so dont worry i will be forwarding them over to you , so you get to see what a good time they are actually having here at the doggy lodge . I promise after you try it out for the first time , you will definitely want to come back . The island I live on is small but it is very peaceful and the lake gives great views. Hope to see you little fury fellas soon.
