Meet Pappy – The Ultimate Adventure Pup
Hi, I’m Pappy, a fun-loving pup with a passion for flying, boating, and making waves wherever I go!
Since I was just 10 weeks old, I’ve been soaring through the skies and cruising the waters like a true travel pro.
I’ve flown on big planes, seaplanes, and everything in between, logging more air miles than most humans! But when I’m not in the sky, you’ll find me on the water—whether it’s a fast boat, a sailboat, or a sportfish, I’m always up for an adventure.
One of my favorite trips? Crossing to the Bahamas from my second home in Florida—because what’s better than island-hopping and salty sea breezes? 🌊🏝️
When I’m not chasing the sun, I love playing in the snow at my home in Colorado. There’s nothing like zooming through fresh powder and rolling in the cold, fluffy stuff before warming up by the fire. ❄️🐾
I travel all over, making new friends and soaking up the best of both worlds—from snowy mountains to tropical beaches. But no matter where I go, my favorite place is always with my humans. ✈️🚤🏔️
Follow along for my latest adventures—there’s always another flight, boat ride, or snow day just around the corner! 🌎🐶
