"Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends." ~ Alexander Pope Working Dogs BY MICHAEL CHATFIELD PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLI ULDALL 90 C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • W I N T E R 2 0 1 7 Roman R oman is a total people person," says his owner Amber Russell at Over the Moon Realty. "She always goes to people instead of dogs; people give him treats and pet him. Dogs don't do that." A 5-year-old Blue Fawn Pied French Bulldog, Roman makes Russell's job a lot easier. "He does this little wiggle thing that enamors him immediately." Russell says. "He makes me more approachable and any home I'm showing much more appealing." And this is dog that gives back. He spearheaded a pet food drive over the holidays that benefit- ted Animal Friends Rescue Project, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and SPCA for Monterey County. Another drive is planned for Valentine's Day. Look for bins at Pet Supplies Plus in Pacific Grove, Petco at Del Monte Center and the Raw Connection in Carmel. NanI T hree-year-old Shepherd/Border Collie mix Nani is the head of security at Weber Goldsmith Gallery in the Carmel Crossroads. "She has a sixth sense about people who come in," owner Brad Weber says. She's also friendly, but not overbearingly so. "She's a little cautious, doesn't jump up on people and say, 'Pet me, pet me.' But once you've proven herself to her, she's anxious to play and wants to show you her toys." She's usually good about standing by her post and minding her duties… except when she sneaks out to visit her boyfriend Tango at the next-door Hearth Shop. "They're quite a pair," Weber says, "since Tango is a tiny little thing." 90 C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • W I N T E R 2 0 1 7 R Realty.
