One of the things we think makes our ranch life extra special is our furry, four-legged canine companions.
They don’t just look adorable or provide moral support. They each have a specific job or jobs on the ranch and we think after you get to know them, you’ll fall at least a little bit in love with our favorite ranch hands.
