As summer quickly approaches, excitement grows: beach and adventure weather is upon us, and the good vibes brought along with the sun are soon to be in full swing. Humans are not the only group excited for the upcoming season — dogs are just as excited, if not more. With squirrels, treats, and long walks on the horizon, dogs can’t wait to hit paws to pavement and get out and about this summer. Here are some RI dogs that can’t wait for summer!
