Milo & Lune

Meet Milo
& Lune.

The real dogs behind the stories — two very different personalities, one very close friendship, and the best company a family could ask for.

Milo

The bigger one · he/him

Milo is the bigger of the two, an apricot-brown swirl of curls. He is smart, loyal, and steady — and curious enough, and mischievous enough, to keep every day interesting.

Lune

The smaller one · she/her

Lune is the smaller one, cream-white and full of expression. She is lively, sensitive, and impossible not to love — she can say more with one look than most dogs manage with a whole bark.
