Posted by Communications, Marketing and Creative Services on January 22, 2021 in Community Highlights

Get to know Juno, a Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever mix belonging to Susan Manning, a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science.

(Find information on how to submit your own pet's profile at the bottom of this profile. Read more about this new series on Dal News.)

Name: Juno, after the goddess in Roman mythology. Although her dad is in the Navy, so we often get asked if sheā€™s named after Juno Beach.

Nickname: J-Bear, June Bug, Juniper ā€” and sheā€™ll answer to all of those.

Species/breed: Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever mix, so technically a ā€˜Goldador.ā€™

Age: 3

Fave food: CHEESE! (she knows what the cheese drawer in the fridge sounds like when itā€™s opened and comes running every time)

Special tricks: If you say ā€œboopā€ and hold out your hand, sheā€™ll ā€˜boopā€™ it with her snout. Sheā€™s also a therapy dog with St. John Ambulance and (when itā€™s not a pandemic) is very good at being calm while sharing puppy love with seniors living in an assisted care facility in Dartmouth.

Best quality: Sheā€™s an excellent snuggler and back-warmer at night when her dad is away with the Navy and she gets to sleep in the bed.

Social media platform or handle, if available: Find her on Instagram
