Meet Fonzie. This almost-4-year-old standard poodle lives near the Grand Canyon in the high country of Arizona. His owner writes, "In the background is Humphreys Peak, the tallest Mt in AZ at 12,633 ft. We are very fortunate to have miles and miles of State and National Forest Land adjacent to our house so we have a perfect place for hikes. Fonzie has no idea what a lucky dog he is. We have had a very dry winter but we did have a little snow recently. Fonzie loves it. He lays down in it, eats it and spins around in circles. Hikes are always better with a dog."
