Dogs of Daniel Island: "Penny" is January's Top Dog on Daniel Island!
Last month, the Daniel Island Property Owners Association (POA) kicked off 2017 with a mission to collect as many photos as they can of dogs digging life in Charleston’s Island Town. And they’re off to a great start! Submissions poured in of dogs doing what they loved best around Daniel Island, like swimming, fetching and golf-carting.
After narrowing the entries to the most impressive finalists, the POA left the voting to their Facebook friends on “My Island Town.” It was a tough choice! But after the votes were tallied and the comments were collected, there was one standout among the group that took the lead.
Four year-old Puggle Penny Hall has been selected as the winner of January’s Dogs of Daniel Island photo contest! Penny will receive a $25 gift card to local Daniel Island pet store Lucia’s Premium Pet.
It’s clear Penny loves to take bike rides around the island, but the POA caught up with Penny’s owner, Laura Hall, to learn a little more about January’s Top Dog:
