What is Dogs Love U?

If you’re visiting Happy-Go-Doodle for the first time, welcome! We’re happy you’re here! Dogs Love U is Happy-Go-Doodle Chloe’s fictitious university for dogs, our collegiate-themed blogging series, and Chloe’s mantra. Our dogs are family and they will miss their hooman siblings who are heading back to school or off to college. But send-offs deserve a special reminder from our furry friends: Dogs Love U and they have since furever!

We had so many dogs and their pawrents visit our blog and enter our 2017 DOGS LOVE U photo contest last year that we decided to “keep the tails wagging” and make our DOGS LOVE U blog series and photo contest an annual event. It’s a lighthearted way to celebrate our doggos who may be missing their human siblings as they’re heading back to school!
