    I think my dog would look cool at the lake in a pair of doggles :-D

    • Kevin Hanrahan on said:

      That would be so cool if you get him/ her to wear them…. if you do it please send us a photo Karen!

      • Karen on said:

        Faith is so easy going. She will wear just about anything I put on her. Poor girl has to wear a jingle bell collar at Christmas. LOL

          My wife tried scarfs with my dogs at Christmas…they were miserable and shook them off within seconds. Please send us a pic of Faith with the doogles on if you get them…… that would be so cool!

  3. I want a pair of those doggles for myself.Ha! Ha! I’ll tell you one thing: these dogs could model these doggles in commercials and the manufacturers woud make a killing off them. Every dog who wants to look cool would want at least one pair. Ha! Ha!
    I love the photos.Eddie, in particular.

    • Kevin Hanrahan on said:

      I loved that pic of Eddie….it is a little older but I couldn’t resist. He looks so handsome and calm with them on. Yeah, I don’t think the government would sponsor doogles but if I were them I would find a retired MWD to use in commercials.

  4. Kevin,

    I am laughing hysterically. It is simply satisfactory when someone splashes some fun into, …well a heavy subjcet matter. My silly sophisticated mind goes those look like men in his reflection on the last picture and I like how one ear is down like..:’Heya, ya I am talking to you’. I like how you can see the right eye on the 3rd picture as if he was saying: “I am all trained and ready to role” The first thought was I can’t wait to wear my swimming goggles when I go swimming for some splash. The 2nd thought was seriously they can wear those for some time. It would be entertaining and interesting to see how these dogs are trained and the outcome of a trianed dog. Suprisingly superb and way to write some words. Thumbs up on the pictures it makes me want to have a trained dog but have him/her do domestic items. Lol.

    Sincerely,
    Adriana Villafane-Johnson

      Thank you. I made myself laugh on those Adriana. I wonder if they would work in the water…you know dogs generally keep their heads up when swimming.
