With dreams as big as his ears, Ralphie left North Carolina last year to come north and live with his Mom Holly and Dad Chris on NE side of the Hill. In just a short time, this two year old “lab mix” has become the best hide and seek player in all of NE, and is the go-to dog if you want to know where all the squirrels live. Ralphie currently really likes to chew on his leash and chomp dents into all his ChuckIt! balls, but he says it’s just to show the squirrels he’s tough….he’s a lover not a fighter after all.

Ralphie was adopted from Rural Dog Rescue in Washington, D.C. RDR was founded by the same people who own Howl to the Chief, another favorite spot for Capitol Hill dogs.
