DUGG
HEAD OF HUMAN HAPPINESS | HE/HIM
Meet Digg, our lovable Saint Bernard! Born and raised in the heart of Ohio, this big guy is living the country life with his human family of five. A true Ohioan at heart, he loves long drives, walks through the countryside, and being by his humans' side, no matter what they’re up to.
When he’s not on a walk, you’ll find him napping or enjoying a delicious snack. His favorite things in life are a cozy nap and a good meal, followed closely by spreading some fluffy love (and fur) wherever he goes. With a heart as big as his paws, Dugg loves everyone he meets and is always ready to share some slobbery affection.
He’s a soft, fluffy ball of joy who might leave a little fur behind, but that’s just his way of making sure you take a little piece of him with you.
