Meet three of our favorite dogs about town!
Pet: Greg Ranney, French Bulldog
Humans: Peter & Holly Ranney
Greg brings a smile to everyone he meets. His sad face is really his happy face. Peter & Holly Ranney, founders of the nonprofit, Sunshine on a Ranney Day, adopted Greg in 2020 to add to their animal crew of pigs, mini donkeys and chickens. Greg actually works at their Sunny & Ranney Home Furnishings & Decor store during the week as a greeter. In fact, sometimes you have to step over him while snoring in the doorway as he gets really tired from socializing. When Greg is not working, he loves to vacation in their RV sitting in the front seat looking all around. Greg and Tucker Ranney are best buds and inseparable.
Pet: Rosie
Human: Jackie Blyth-Gottlieb
Franchise Owner-Roswell
Office Evolution-Roswell
She loves people! Her job at Office Evolution-Roswell is to greet people, roll over and demand belly rubs. She loves to make the rounds and visit everyone in the center if they are not busy. She enjoys a game of catch in the halls and is always ready to give a hug or snuggle to anyone experiencing a stressful day. Even the most well-dressed top executives become little children with melted hearts when they interact with her. The right attitude helps everyone work smarter, swifter, and smoother. Go Rosie! For fun, she loves the dog park, walking with her owner, playing catch, hanging out at the tennis courts, and playing keep-away with her toys from her two doggy brothers. When we decided to get a puppy, my husband wanted a border collie and I wanted a poodle. We didn’t know there was a mix of our two favorite breeds. We found Rosie at Mountain Rose Bordoodles. She is now 1 year old.
Pet: Woodford the Wonder Pup
Human: Tran Bui Smith
For years when my animal-obsessed son Jackson and daughter Ava would ask, beg and pray for a dog, I would give them the same response, "I'll think about it." In 2016 shortly after moving to Atlanta, I gave in. It was our second move in three years and the kids were missing friends and family. My husband Scott and I planned a special Christmas delivery. The kids opened the front door to find a giant box with their names on it. Inside was a precious little black lab and poodle mix pup with soulful eyes and a joyful personality. We named him Woodford the Wonder Pup and boy is he wonderful. The person who kept saying "not now" is the one who is the most attached to this bundle of puppy love. My group, Little Helpers volunteers with Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue where I'm also a foster dog mom.
