Our Senior Drama Coordinator, delivering drama (and love) since puppyhood.
Every great company needs someone who keeps things lively. At The Dog People Collective, that role belongs to Scout, our Senior Drama Coordinator. With her hound-dog howl, strong opinions, and finely-tuned squirrel radar, Scout’s job is to keep us all on our toes.
No DNA test was ever necessary—Scout is pure hound. You can tell by the howls (constant), the stubborn streak (legendary), and the floppy ears (adorable). She earned nicknames like “Princess Poops-a-Lot” thanks to her selective approach to potty breaks, and she has a long history of property destruction, squirrel-chasing mania, and collar escapism. Even now, at the dignified age of 13, she still keeps watch, howling at every squirrel, cat, jogger, delivery truck, or passing bike.
Training Scout has always been…interesting. Where some dogs might be motivated by treats or praise, Scout had her own priorities. Treats? Secondary to the thrill of a squirrel sighting. Potty time? Forgettable if there was something new to sniff. She even went through a short but unforgettable couch-eating phase. But behind her stubborn streak is a heart of gold. Once you pass her “are you secretly an assassin?” test (translation: ignore her dramatics long enough for her to calm down), she flips into best friend mode – joyful, loyal, and wildly affectionate. And once you’re in her circle, you’re there for life.
These days, Scout is slowing down. Because of her arthritis, she moves a bit slower and has traded couch snuggles for cozy naps on her dog bed. Still, her howls are heard throughout the neighborhood, and her presence brings humor, chaos, and love to every day. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Because in the end, every company needs a little drama—and Scout delivers it daily.
We would love to learn all about your pup! Share your dog's story, and we will feature them in an upcoming Dog of the Week post!
