Dog of Daniel ISland: Meet 'Chance' - February's Top Dog on DI!

Staff members with the Daniel Island Property Owners Association report they are having so much fun seeing how dogs are digging life in Charleston’s island town via the Dogs of Daniel Island Photo Contest! February was another month of tough choices, but they put the finalists to a vote on the My Island Town Facebook page, and based on your votes, a winner has emerged!

They are excited to announce that Golden Retriever “Chance” is February’s Top Dog. As a winner, Chance will receive a $25 gift card to Lucia’s Premium Pet, as well as a shout-out on the My Island Town Facebook page, the Daniel Island Real Estate’s Instagram page, and of course right here in The Daniel Island News. At nearly six months old, it seems Chance already has the good life figured out, as he lounges on his screened porch. Still, we wanted to learn more about this Daniel Island pup, so we caught up with his owner, Allison:
