Top Dog: Milo

Forget sitting at the head of the table. A true Top Dog belongs smack dab in the middle of the family. And Milo clearly knows his place. Surrounded by his people and sporting a grin almost as big as theirs, he captures what being a Top Dog is really all about. It isn’t about pedigree or being leader of the pack. It’s about being the furry heart of it. This photo has personality, plenty of smiles, and one very happy pup holding court. For proving that every family portrait is better with a dog at its center, Milo takes Top Dog. 

About Milo from those who know him best: “Milo is a rescue; he is six years old and the center of the family!! Milo loves Blanco Smile Studio on CVR because they have treats. We walk to Coast Village every day and sometimes go to the beach for sunrise, but Milo insists we stop there. Sometimes it is not open and we have to negotiate to get him to continue on. He is a very kind dog and when we foster other dogs he calms them down and shows them it is okay.”

Sounds like a Top Dog to us! Congratulations Milo and the whole Moe family! You win a custom sketch of your pup by artist Peter Horjus, valued at $750. Presented by Montecito Journal and Coast Village Association.
