 We had "Mik" the Pug for almost 15 years! He's was a real character and we will never forget the little guy. Mik spent over a year sailing through the Bahamas and Caribbean on Destiny Calls, our 27 foot boat. He was a top notch boat dog and even when he got old, he never let us down. When we were ashore, he'd usually station himself at the bow and made sure that nobody got too close to the boat when we were at anchor. He did a lot of happy hours on the beach where he finished peoples beers for them. He even learned to use an astro turf mat for his business! Mik was healthy right to the end. Though he went deaf and had doggie arthritis he had a smile on his mussel every day and never missed a meal, even on the day he went to sleep in his dog bed for the last time. Mik had a few tips for other potential Caribbean cruising dogs! Mik was a famous Caribbean Cruising Pug and we miss him very much.
