Mabel is a 5-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She joined her family in December of 2019 in Fort Riley, Kansas, and has since traveled to Camp Darby, Italy.

“Meeting other furry friends while out and about is super fun and makes her really happy.”

— Diana R.

Mabel loves swimming and catching balls at the local dog beach in Clambrone, Italy. She loves traveling, from the smells and tastes to the scenery and long dog walks. Mabel has been lucky to visit all kinds of places around her current home in Italy, plus Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Croatia. She loves a good weekend adventure.

She loves Lake Garda, Italy for its beautiful hiking. Pula, Croatia was another highlight because it meant she could swim with her human sister. She loves the water!
