Meet North
Breed: Cairn Terrier

What's up dog?
North is the kind of dog who lights up every space she enters. With her scruffy coat, bright eyes, and ever-wagging tail, she's not just cute, North is unforgettable. Wherever she goes, joy follows. At doggy daycare, North is the heart of the pack. Despite her small size, she somehow manages to be in charge, gently but firmly keeping the bigger dogs in line with nothing more than confidence and charm. Staff and dogs alike adore her. North's impact reaches far beyond daycare. She brings laughter, comfort, and warmth to everyone she meets. Her playful spirit and expressive little face can lift even the darkest moods. North is more than a pet, she's family, my best friend, and a tiny bundle of sunshine. Her presence reminds us to live in the moment, to find happiness in the little things, and to always greet the world with a smile. Everyone who knows North feels it, life is simply better with her in it.
