Meet LOLA The Littlest Gallery Dog in Charleston |
|
|
|
Lola is a miniature Yorkshire Terrier. She is five years old and weighs in at about 2 pounds. Lola has taken over the job formerly held by Ben, ("the Famous Gallery Dog of Charleston"). Those are big paw-prints to fill, but she's a real charmer. She likes to greet visitors at the downtown Dobbin Gallery and has become a unique attraction.

Lola and Ben are good buddies. Sometimes she comes to visit Ben at the artist's studio. Ben now spends most of his time "working" at the Dobbin Gallery in Freshfields. Occasionally, you will find him at the downtown store too. Sometimes you can meet both of them there. |
