Current Goal

Dougal's ultimate goal is to reach New Zealand, so he can round up some sheep.

About This Item

Dougal says goodbye to St. Abbs.

Dougal's Profile

Dougal is a dog, half Foxhound and half... Well we're not entirely sure about the other half. Although whenever I've asked Dougal, he declares he has royal ancestry being half Foxhound and half Corgi.

Dougal has been living quietly in St. Abbs for a couple of years; he spent a lot of time surrounded by books, so thinks himself well read. He likes to chase and heard sheep (maybe his father was actually a common Border Collie). He also likes to chase foxes, which I am sure he would maul badly if he ever managed to catch one.

Travel Plans

A couple of weeks ago Dougal started to express a desire to explore the world. He said that while he enjoyed life in St. Abbs he found it a little quiet. So Dougal and I discussed all the possible places he could travel to.

"I'd like to get as far away as possible", said Dougal.

"You can't get much further away than New Zealand", said I.

"New Zealand, where is that", asked Dougal.

"It's right under your feet", I told him.

"Ok, but what does New Zealand offer a dog like me", asked Dougal.

So I told him all about bungee jumping, kiwifruit and sheep. Dougal's little ears pricked up when he heard that New Zealand has over 40 million sheep and they out number people eleven to one. As Dougal likes to chase sheep, he has decided that he wants to go to New Zealand and chase the sheep there. He would also like the opportunity to chase sheep in other countries too.

Travel Goals

Dougal would like to travel the world with the ultimate goal of reaching New Zealand. While travelling Dougal would like to meet and be pictured with animals which he can chase or heard.

Dougal doesn't care for postmen, so please don't send him through the mail; there is always the danger he may break loose from the parcel and bite an unlucky postal worker.

I am going to miss Dougal, so would like to hear from everyone who meets him on the road. If you do meet Dougal please give him a cuddle and a clap every now and then.

Grabbed Dougal the Dog from a cache in Palmer, MA. I've been to New Zealand for the 2000 America's Cup races, but unfortunately don't have any plans to return this year. Would love to go - perhaps this is a good excuse?

Dawg is going to take care of Dougal for a little while. She is going to Boston tomorrow. Maybe they can get to a World Series game...but probably not. If you make it to New Zealand, make sure you go to Waitomo Caves and check out the glow worms. It is an amazing sight! Good luck Dougal!

  • Dawg and Dougal at the beach. Dougal went with Dawg to Salem, Massachusetts to celebrate Halloween. Before the festivities, they went to the beach to play. They are pictured at Salem Willows Park.
