Fun in the sun with Dachshund Catalina!

This adventurous pup is 1 year old. She went on a trip with her family to Faro, Portugal where she was able to kayak around the beach. She was nervous at first, but her family said everything was going to be OK. Plus, she had on an adorable doggy life vest.

Catalina’s kayaking photo was submitted by Stars and Stripes reader Michele.
