This is Georgia, a Minnesota puppy that recently moved to Connecticut with her family. Most people are surprised to learn that while Georgia looks like either a Labradoodle or a Portuguese water dog, she is actually a goldendoodle. Georgia loves strolling around Mystic to visit every available water bowl on Main Street, running off-leash at the dog park, and harassing her Uncle Scooter whenever she sees him. In her spare time, Georgia enjoys demolishing cardboard boxes.
