Evan Vessels and Bridge Says Evan Vessels of his Miniature Australian/Rat Terrier mix, Bridge: “He is unreasonably cute and people tend to agree about that.” Doug Tweed and Maddie Maddie is a three-year old Golden Retriever. On the other end of her leash is Doug Tweed. “I love her; she is my mental health, my exercise, my life partner,” Tweed says. Denise Mendoza and Chiqis Chiqis is a tiny Chihuahua, small enough to fit into a large handbag. But Denise Mendoza confirms that as a guard dog, Chiqis definitely holds her own. Chloe Richman and Cooper Cooper is a five-month-old Labradoodle. Chloe Richman (at right, shown with Ally Sutterer) says he’s the best dog in Park Hill, “because he is sweet, he is soft, he follows me wherever I go, he does whatever I do and it’s fun to be with him.” Interviews and photos by GPHN Intern Adam Uribes, shown here with Robin, his three-year old Doberman/German Shepard mix.
