MEET LOUIS!
Dog’s name: Louis (Lou-Lou)
Owner's name: Jemima - Social Media Manager
Dog’s breed: Standard longhaired dachshund
Dog’s age: 9
Tell us about your dog: Louis is a lovely little weirdo. He is the biggest sausage dog you will ever see with an even bigger personality. He has strong opinions about everything, especially lino floors and will avoid them at all costs. He is suspicious of everyone until they sit on the floor, then they are automatically his bestie.
What are your dog’s favourite walking spots: Camber Sands in East Sussex is his happy place - hours spent running around the dunes and paddling in the tidal pools in the winter months when dogs are allowed. We can often be found in the car park at the end of a walk having a Mexican standoff when he refuses to get back in the car.
Favourite dog-friendly vacation you’ve taken recently: We went to Cornwall with some friends and a few of them brought their dogs along too - endless beaches for him to run around, pretty cliff top walks and cosy pubs for him to snooze in! Girl Annie is a lovely dog-friendly Coolstay by the beach in Sennen.

Tell us a bit about your dog: One key thing to know about me - I love to run although at nearly 13 my range is not as much as it once was!
What are your dog’s favourite walking spots: The cathedral beech trees of Lambridge Woods above Henley, Maidensgrove Common and Watlington Hill, all of which are in the Chilterns. Further afield, I love a sandy beach.
