the water boy TALES OF TAILS
Caption: All Dogs are special, there is no doubt about that. But what is it about white dogs that gives them an extra edge?
At least this has been my experience with all the ones I have met, including my own.
Meet Snow, one such super special white Golden Retriever who lives on O'ahu and knows how to make a splash!

Caption: Ready to go!
I love me some tide pools.
Caption: Snow is very much an island boy. Born in England, he flew to Nevis at four-months-old and now lives on O'ahu.
He has been on the ocean from day one, if not on the boat, then floating on a 'lilo' (inflatable mattress float). And he loves jumping into the tide pools near his home, over and over again.

Caption: And this is how it's done.

Caption: So refreshing!
Caption: Dolphins love Snow, and always seem to find him whenever he and family are out snorkeling near a pod. Snow pulls the dive flag, btw.
One day, the coast guard helicopter, which they often see when out snorkeling, flew in low and circled them while the guys took photos of Snow with the dolphins from the chopper's open door.

Caption: Ready to go again.
Caption: Snow is also part of the crew on his Mommy's boat. She is a marine biologist and now Captain of her boat, literally, offering not-to-be-missed snorkeling trips on a smooth-riding, futuristic style, glass-bottom boat (one of only two in the U.S.) off the coast of O'ahu.
So if you are on the island, maybe he will take you on his Mommy's spiffy boat and show you his favorite snorkeling spots.

Caption: I do this for free.
Treats welcome, but not required.
Caption: Snow is quite a talented boy, and there is lots more to him and his story than I like to fit here, as I prefer to make #stellerstories more about images than words.
But you are welcome to read the rest of his tale on the blog at
