Dog’s Name & Breed: Lodi, Boykin Spaniel

How did your dog become a part of your life?

We originally got Lodi to be a hunting dog for my husband, but she quickly stole our hearts and has now become a member of our family. The only hunting she does now is looking for her ball to play fetch!

What makes your dog unique?

Lodi is the sweetest most loving dog we have ever owned. She is incredibly smart and eager to please!

What’s your favorite way to spoil your dog?

With lots of belly rubs, kisses, and of course peanut butter! She will do anything for food!

What’s the most rewarding thing about being a dog owner for you?

Just the immense amount of joy and love she brings to our daily lives.

Tell us about your favorite thing to do with your dog in San Antonio.

We love taking Lodi for walks in the neighborhood and we love even more taking her to Hops & Hounds where she can run and socialize in a safe and fun environment!
